Marissa's bane

We finally have an answer! Well, at least a direction to fight. At last!
My darling wife Marissa has been suffering with severe abdominal pain for several months now. She's undergone all sorts of tests to try and discover the cause of the pain, including CT scans, hydascan, x-rays, ultrasounds, liver biopsy, colonoscopy, endoscopy and a load of blood work... all with no clear answers. She even visited with a holistic doctor to see if she could help, again with limited results. A few days ago the latest CT scan finally revealed what we thought could be the problem all along: a mass on her pancreas. It could be anything from a benign growth or cyst to a cancerous tumor. We'll find out more in the next couple of days. At the very least, we know where to look to make her well again. Thanks to family & friends for your kind thoughts and prayers.
