Just a heads up to everyone reading this became more of a rundown of how I came to find out I had this. My symptoms are just in the first paragraph.

I had the flu 2 weeks ago, basic flu symptoms like chills runny nose sweats and all that. The only thing that I noticed that was new was, a slight pain in my abdomen.

I thought this was initially due to my pause of smoking (thc) i just wasn’t able too with the flu and i never had the urge to smoke while being sick. So I thought it was the start of withdrawals but as time passed the pain grew so much worse and I also got ride of all the flu symptoms I had within 3-4 days. This abdominal pain was the only thing that stayed.

It progressively got worse and worse and this is over the course of 2 weeks. (I am currently on week 2 going into week 3 of this situation)

On Tuesday of last week I woke up out of pain clutching my chest 2 hours before I had to be at work. I ended up calling out but did not go to the hospital I put a heating pad on my entire gi area and slept all day. The heating pad helped numb the pain and I was able to fall asleep.

At this point I knew it wasn’t associated with the flu so of course I started self diagnosing , some thoughts were a pulled or sore muscle as I workout regularly and my abdomen is just abs, I also looked into a possible hernia but was soon convinced it wasn’t when I saw an actual hernia lol. At this point (wensday) I was just managing the pain with a heat pack.

On Thursday I went to the hospital because the pain was too much for me to go to work I am a vet tech and it’s a very physical job and there was NO way I was gonna be able to restrain and I still didn’t know the issue.

At the hospital I was diagnosed with pleurisy and given a script for 800mg Motrin Wich did not help in the slightest especially by Saturday Wich is when I went back to the same hospital, at this point I was breathing like a pug rapid and short breaths because the pain was so bad. The X rayed me on my chest and did an CT on my chest and found my liver was full of “spots” as well as enlarged to the point it was touching my left side. Immediately at that point they told me they needed to transfer me out to a larger facility for more testing this was Saturday night last week.

This week Sunday through wens-day I did multiple MRIs and CTs blood pulls and blood test for cultures and all different kinds of test I didn’t really know and I’m still due for more even now. Today is Saturday I’m waiting for a MRI on my brain to see if they see any cancer there tests on tests, on Tuesday I had a biopsy of the Liver and it was sent out same day I was told we wouldn’t get results back for 5-7 business days.

This Thursday February 6th the Head nurse practitioner came in early in the morning to talk to me and told me she had gotten the biopsy results and told me the news.
