To really start from the beginning I was having what I thought at the time were digestive issues since about April of this year.
I had some testing done throughout the summer and all my symptoms were basically chalked up to IBS or some sort of food sensitivity issue based on lack of other evidence of anything medical..
Things came to a head however on Oct 14th when I went into emergency feeling very unwell and after an xray and CT scan they found not only an obstructed bowel but also a variety of potentially cancerous masses in my abdomen/ in and around my right ovary.
I was admitted to the Royal Alexandra Hospital early Saturday morning, put on an Ng tube to help clear the obstruction (if you have never had an ng tube – I sincerely hope you never need one it is not a nice experience by any stretch of the imagination )
I have since scrapped the tube and my body is slowly figuring out how to handle food again.. hope to be out of the hospital in a few days.
