Thursday was 7 days since I was in surgery. A lot has happened in a week. The main thing was that my case was brought before tumor board Thrusday AM. I got a call from my Surgeon's PA regarding what tumor board had to say.
They had 2 recommendations. First they recommended Radiation. I meet with Radiation on May 3 to discuss what they have to say. I don't expect a lot different than the previous radiation conversation as not much has changed since that conversation. They previously recommended 5-6 weeks for 5 days a week. I suspect the informatio will be similar if not the same.
The other item tumor board recommended is genetic testing. I had genetic testing 12 years ago and I don't remember if they found anything other than that it was colon cancer. I'm willing to go through it again, however I don't think they're going to find anything unusual.
Monday I have my post op appointment with my surgeon's office. I think the only other thing left that I need from them is the "return to work" form. I know they are willing to put a date on it that I feel like I can handle so likely early to mid next week I get to begin working again.
My post op appointment with my general surgeon on April 30 so he can get a good look at his work and see that things are healing the way they should.
I'll write more here as things unfold.

5 - 6 weeks of radiation sounds daunting. Praying #1 that it is amazingly effective and #2 that you can fit into a routine that is good for your work schedule and #3 that there won’t be any negative side effects. Thanks for the update. Praying this “tumor” disappears and that you go back into remission!
