and for what reason.. its weird.. I had an umbilical hernia fixed last December and thought maybe it was a complication of that, but, no, finally acquired enough gallstones that they started forcing their way out.. just weird.. I kind of figured it out by googling the symptoms, but was still shocked when ultrasound found them..

...and now for the really weird part:

Kidney tumor, which they also found during ultrasound.. I think I mentioned a good friend who survived stage 4 liver cancer told me to start taking Panacur C every day with coconut oil.. Panacur C is a dog deworming medicine you can get over the counter.. So, I immediately started taking it every day until about 3 weeks ago when the gallbladder went haywire.. Panacur C can upset my stomach, so I didn't wanna aggravate anything..

So last week I had another MRI looking for gallstones stuck in the duct.. they didn't find any, but the MRI also caught the kidney tumor in question.. I sent it to the kidney specialist in Dallas because the report sounded promising.. The tumor has shrunk almost 25% from the initial size it was during ultrasound.. he said it is now smaller than they will do surgery to remove.. So, is the Panacur C, which is being evaluated for its ability to shrink tumors, working? It sure sounds like it..

So, will start back on the Panacur C in a day or two after my insides quit hurting so much from surgery.. Ordered 6 more boxes, as well.. Dallas surgeon said do another MRI in 4-6 months.. my goal is to shrink that thing down another 50% by then.. fingers crossed..



Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
