First day at M.D. Anderson. Joel and I were checked in by 8:00am, filled out the paperwork and they took my vitals. We were done with that by 8:30, my appointment was scheduled for 9:00. We didn't get called back to see the doctor until 12:30! We met with a physicians assistant and the medical oncologist over the course of 3 hours. Dr. Brown's preliminary assumption is that I have cholangiocarcinoma, which is cancer of the liver bile ducts. He does think that it originated in my liver. This cancer is very rare and most commonly seen in people over 60, it is extremely rare for a 30 year-old.
