• January 26, 2009 (noonish)went to the doctor because of strange taste in mouth, felt tired but felt like maybe had a flu bug.
• January 26, 2009 had blood tests done, hospital called and required admittance because of high calcium levels in blood. Needed to be hooked up to IV to flush that out.
• January 27, 2009 focus became liver which appeared to be enlarged.
• January 28, 2009 released from hospital; just had to keep drinking water to keep calcium levels down.
• January 29, 2009 Dr. Williams called and requested they come out to his office to discuss results of liver biopsy.
• January 29, 2009 it was confirmed cancer in the liver.
• January 30, 2009 diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in the liver.
