Hi - Today (3-5-03) I was told I have the samething. I've been suffering with pain for months. I've been taking protonics for my acid reflux. I too am wondering if all this pain is the cause of this hemangioma. Most of my pain is on the upper left side near my ribs and down around my waist (where you bend) and around my back. They checked my kidneys and they are fine. The found my hemangioma by CAT scan. They did more blood work on me today, and I call back on Friday to find out if there is something more going on. I'm scared...HOw about you?
Did they tell you to watch what you eat and drink? Nothing was said to me. Write back, I'd love to hear from you.
