Not all tremendous heroes put on capes
Right here’s a superhero I need to take the time to spotlight. Her identify is Thais Aliabadi, Oby-Gyn, in LA. She saved my life.
I couldn’t be extra blessed to have crossed paths in life with this good, uber proficient, affected person, attentive and genuinely caring lady!
Extreme stomach distention and swelling to the purpose the place I might look 6 months pregnant. A number of GI points, together with sibo, a number of rounds of antibiotics, excessive fatigue, and simply wasn’t feeling like myself!
For the previous 12 months, my signs would are available in flare ups and it progressively acquired worse – it grew to become power.
I noticed numerous docs in numerous fields, however no prognosis. Nobody may inform me what’s occurring. I went down an extremely lengthy record of testing, from colonoscopy/endoscopy/capsule cam endoscopy, mri’s, ultrasounds, ct scans, blood checks simply to call a couple of and infrequently could be instructed that its in all probability hormonal and or simply one thing by physique is allergic too. I even had my whole home examined for mould. I used to be instructed to let it go – that it might determine itself out with time. That I’m simply too impatient and making myself loopy
From the beginning after I met Thais at her workplace in LA, she listened to my story, actually listened. She heard me (a health care provider’s high quality that makes an amazing distinction) and agreed that we have now to push to resolve this. She at all times stated, “Nobody is aware of your physique higher than you.” She proposed we go in there and discover out. I used to be prepared.
Per week in the past I went into surgical procedure with Dr. Thais. She carried out a Laparoscopy surgical procedure for what we thought on the time was probably Endometriosis illness!
She discovered and eliminated 11 implants round my uterus, ovaries, and all connective tissues across the organs in my stomach cavity. These have been despatched to pathology for testing.
3 days later… the labs got here again. No endometriosis.
All 11 implants got here again as Serous Borderline Tumors. A really uncommon pre-cancer of the ovaries. Very sneaky and aggressive. If these develop into most cancers, the survival price is lower than a 12 months.
So what occurs subsequent? I’m scheduled for complete hysterectomy surgical procedure in 4 weeks. My uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, omentum shall be eliminated and can get stomach lymph nodes eliminated for staging.
I’m remaining optimistic and decided to beat this factor. There is just one choice and it’s profitable this battle! As a mother of two younger daughters, I’ve to.
Let’s carry gentle to an enormous lady healthcare situation right here. Girls get so conditioned to consider that’s it regular to undergo, most frequently in silence. Advised to cease being a cry child. That it should be hormonal imbalances, simply nervousness or simply all in your head.
This isn’t regular. This cycle must be damaged! In case you get dismissed by a health care provider, go see a brand new one till you get the aid you want! Advocacy is the important thing. Advocate for your self and preserve pushing! Comply with your instincts. By no means ever underestimate your intestine emotions!
Thanks to @drthaisaliabadi and her wonderful group of nurses. You guys actually make a distinction for thus many ladies!!
I’ve an angel on my shoulder defending me, THANK YOU DAD
