not the liver afterall

been told my symptons caused by my liver malfunctions for many years and waited to see a liver specialist because of the numbers and the symptons. many scans and tests later they finally did the right scan and it turns out its not actually my liver. yes my liver is being affected by what the actual problem is as well as all my other symptons they thought was a liver issue came to a conclusion with this diagnosis today. one more test to confirm it and the worst test of all for me which is a colonoscopy to try to remove and biopsy as many of the polyps as they can. so the word polyp you might recognize but its not liver its in the colon and lots of them. I have toxic colon right now also which is affecting my organs my liver being one so that's why it was so tricky apparently. going for dna genetics testing as usually this is caused by a genetic disorder. now play the wait game again while I sit by everyday and cry thinking of the journey im about to go on. so I guess since its not my liver I will be on a different journey than the rest of you now but I wanted to thank everyone for their nice comments or advice as I went through the last 2 years thinking and waiting to find out if the liver it had been. I wish you all luck on your journeys and pray for all of you as well as myself.no one should have to suffer like we do.i do suggest if you can do it go for you genetics testing it will tell you a lot and may even save you before it is to late
