I found out I have a large mass around 10cm in my abdomen on my left side. I had 2 ultrasounds in the last 2 months and it has grown. I have had pain with this for several months and BP has been extreme, but my doctors are concerned with my other health problems that I could die on the table having a heart defect and lung problems. I have been on a ventilator 4 times in the last year and a half. This sugery has to be done and I have to go on vent for a short time. But even a short time can be risky because i have COPD. I use a breathing machine at home.

I am trying to look at this more positively i just might lose alittle weight which i didnt after 2 open heart sugeries but who knows I can have people visiting me more often and someone might even make me chocolate chip cookies

Love you guys,
Leslie
