Dear Friends of the Listserv -- I have been living with PD for 22 years, I found out that I have advanced Osteoporosis two years ago, and yesterday a doctor showed me the film of my CT Scan, and I saw the mass (cyst, tumor) that is so large it fills up most of the abdominal/pelvis area. I had been to my see my doctor four times concerning my enlarged stomach (and incontinence) and she brushed it off as a prolapsed bladder. I am so angry and I am scared of the surgery I must have and if I also now have cancer. Sometimes, life just doesn't seem fair. I remember there have been past posts regarding a type of anesthesia that PWP should not have but I don't remember the name. I would deeply appreciate it if someone would tell me the name.
