dr. appt
My appointment for Friday with the general surgeon here in KC was cancelled due to an emergency surgery he was called on. I have rescheduled for tomorrow AM.

better late than never
Well it's been over two months since my last post, pretty much par for me. Surgery went very well and recovery did also. Nicole was there for the first 6 days and my mother was there for the next 4. I got released after 7 days in the hospital. The other three days was spent in Houston before the Dr's would release me to go home.
I have pretty much healed up from the surgery but am currently having some GI issues. Over the past three weeks I have visited my general practitioner, GI specialist, oncologist, and have an appointment with the general surgeon on Friday. I have had several blood tests, a CT, and small bowel series done in the past week and a half and none of the Dr's can figure out why I am having "gastric gurgling", random vomiting, and diarrhea.
I am hoping the general surgeon can shed some light on the situation as this is becoming very frustrating.
More updates to follow.

all systems go!
I met with my Dr's on Friday and everything is set for surgery on Monday AM. The latest CT did not show any new areas of cancer and that was GREAT news.
Surgery could take 6-8 hours. My first estimate was way off as I really was just guessing. I'm not looking forward to being sore afterwards but will be glad that I'll be back on the road to recovery.
Hopefully this is my last surgery!
I will have Nicole make a post after I get out.

heading back to Houston
Well, I'm done with radiation and now have surgery scheduled for March 2nd. Being away from Nicole & Carter was the hardest part of radiation. I did get to come home a couple of times, including Christmas.
With surgery, the plan is to remove the two lymph nodes and repair the hernia. There will be three surgeon's on my case and the surgery, as I guess, could take between 2-4 hours. Usually I have had a very early check-in time on the day of surgery, around 6am.
I will post more updates as they become available.
