I am still not real coherent, but I wanted to give some sort of update even though it's certain to be short and to the point.
Wow... what an experience so far. Surgery went off without a hitch as scheduled Wednesday morning, June 30th. All appeared to have gone extremely well. Pathology was in surgery and said all the tissue was cancer free. When I came out of recovery, I was told that I was on the road to recovery. Friday night, my surgeon stopped by to tell me that they found cancer cells in some of the tissue that has been removed, and I needed another surgery to remove all the remaining tissue. Had second surgery Saturday and am just now feeling somewhat normal. Haven't eaten anything since Monday, June 28th. Can't eat until my bowels to wake up. I am just now beginning to feel hungry. Could be at least a couple more days before bowels are functioning enough to let me start on some soft solids. Sounds like I may be in hospital for another 5-7 days. Am extremely wiped out... will write more tomorrow.
Take care!
