I had severe stomach pain for years, VA doctor gave me acid reflux medicine and been taking for years. It got so severe I had to call an ambulance to transport me to Lake Charles Memorial Hospital and upon doing testing, they determined I had issues with gallbladder. I immediately sent to the operating room where they removed gallbladder using the DaVinci Robotic Arms, and while in there, the cameras showed extreme amount of unusual growth on my liver. Dr Shimer removed the gallbladder entirely and sent it and several samples he cut from liver to pathology where they were not initially identified because of how rare this cancer is, BUT relentless testing, and also sending to Pathology Lab of Lake Charles, both confirmed the identity and had a PET/CT done where it is shown in left/right side abdomen to include liver as well. Will see Oncologist next week to see what happens next
