Hi everyone, I’m new here and very new to MALs. For starters I have been told that I have lupus for about 2 years now with crazy bloodwork, after a recent pericarditis episode and a ct of my chest my cardiologist and gastroenterologist found the MALs and referred me to a general surgeon. Being that I’m so new to this I really don’t understand what happens from here and would love some insight and what to expect. I know my dr mentioned surgery and I’m a bit nervous about that, being 28 and a mother of 2 young children it would be hard to manage household duties with the time frame that they mentioned that it takes for recovery. Any insight would be much appreciated
