Today I got the call finalizing all the things about surgery.
I will be having surgery at Butterworth on Monday February 12 at 10:00 AM
5 Days left and I am doing the things required of me before surgery.
As I go through surgery I am aware this a bit of exploratory surgery. This means while the main goal is to remove the tumor or collection of Lymph nodes, there is the possibility the surgeon will need to reconstruct the bile duct. It's a bit unusual how they actually do this and as much as I'd like to explain it to you, I don't completely understand how it all works.
We hope they can leave my bile duct the way it is, however I'd rather them get all infected areas if they are able to.
I will be in the hospital for 4 - 7 days depending if they need to reconstruct bile duct.
My job over the next several weeks is to do everything I can to heal and get back to normal
I know it's difficult to get excited about surgery, this surgery to me means less chemo and puts an end date to my cancer treatment plan.
I'm sure someone will update the blog early next week as to how I'm doing.
