Well here I am again - IT is back and this time it is very angry. Kidney, spleen, adrenal gland, pancreas and to add icing to the cake its in the liver again. This is only an update as we have been waiting on what the docs are going to do, if anything since 07th May, all up in the air again. 18 years is a long time dealing with this dreaded disease but hubby is not ready to give in yet.
