an answer to the bump in the road

Since about Christmas I have not felt well at all. We knew something was wrong, because my liver levels were out of whack. So , again more tests, more biopsies and more waiting. But we have an answer. And it is not more cancer, so that is a good thing.

I was diagnosed with NASH. 

I have done two rounds of liver dialysis. I have to make complete diet changes and lifestyle changes. But all of that should buy me time. And I maybe fine for a long time and never need a transplant. Or at some point I may need one. No one knows what future holds , but one day at a time.

I am struggling with this. I thought I saw the light of the end of the tunnel, but instead I hit a detour. Oh well, move forward and move on.

Today is World Cancer Day. A day to celebrate those who fought and won. Those who are fighting. And remember those who did not win the fight. Today is a day about Cancer and research. If you are on Facebook, please turn your profile purple. It will raise money. There is a link on my page. 

Hopefully next week finds me feeling more like me and less like a shell of myself. I can get back to the gym, start my diet changes, and start my life , in my new normal.
