He ordered a complete blood work panel to be done ASAP because he was extremely concerned about my health.
Without hesitation, I got my blood work done and my results were given next day.
My doctor called me up and my heart dropped when he told me the scary news about my condition.
He requested that I come in as soon as possible to go over the results in full and to discuss options.
By this time, I was a complete wreck and felt myself spiraling into a deeper depression.
Two days later my husband and I go to see the doctor and the first thing I asked him was "how did this happen?"
I was a mess and could barely hear what he had to say. Thankfully my husband was there to receive all of the bad news and hear my options.
I do remember him saying the "S" word and I thought I was going to pass out.
All three of us stood there in a cold daze trying to make sense of all this.
I almost felt like I had no options except to have the surgery...or so I thought.
Lucky for me, I had a chance encounter that changed my life.
Turns out, my current lifestyle was NOT the issue...
