I felt sick and thought that I had stomach problems, so I spoke to a gastroenterologist. He ordered an ultrasound, and after reading the results he recommended that I go to Fox Chase. I was fortunate to get an appointment at Fox Chase the following week. The surgical oncologist ordered an MRI right away. He said I needed surgery.
