It will probably take a few days or weeks. The doctor is pretty certain that she doesn't have cancer (which would just be awful on top of her cirrhosis), but he had to make sure.
Thanks, Mac. My mom had her varices banded on Wednesday and is now at home healing up, so it looks like that problem is likely solved. But they also found that her ulcer hadn't healed, so they took a biopsy to make sure that she doesn't have cancer. Now we're just waiting for those results.
Hi, Chimera! I know, I haven't been blogging lately. I'm in sort of a weird place and I'm finding it hard to concentrate on reading, blogging, or anything else that requires thought and concentration. Hopefully I'll snap out of it soon!
