Pain in the .......

The title of this post may make you think of the neck.  Not so for me.  My pain is where my cancer started.  While trying not to be to gross Colon Cancer patients like me become very aware of the digestive system.  Let me put it this way  I am very eagerly anticipating my Colon surgery.  Unfortunately the doctors are putting my Liver ahead of the Colon.  Maybe they just have a hankering for Liver and Onions.  

Seriously though tomorrow we meet again with the Liver surgeon after an MRI.  We are anticipating a Date for surgery.   If he doesn't see what he likes in the MRI he will tell my Oncologist to schedule more chemo.  Personally at this point I want to move into and through the next phase of treatment.  I will be as willing as able to resume chemo after surgery.  We are told that we have 2 weeks after surgery to begin chemo again.  Not exactly the recovery period I wanted.  I can certainly attest to the fact that the Doctors are sticking to one thing they all told me.  They are being AGGRESSIVE with this treatment plan.  Most treatments I had I should have been sent home instead.    Sounds like I should just get used to and expect aggressive.  Will be par for the course as far as I understand it.

Thanks for all your prayers and concerns.  They mean a lot to me and the rest of my family.

  1. Hoping and praying that the Dr "likes" what he sees on that MRI and that you can move on to the surgery.
