We saw the surgeon today; he said from the preliminary reports, it is not early stage... but not late stage cancer either, so that gives him good odds.
When he examined him it seemed it had NOT attached itself to the abdominal wall.
The colonoscopy doc left a message to say the blood work was fine.
The surgeon said he expected Jim was tested for cancer markers (?signs of it being in his system)....so that's another good sign, though he said not 100% conclusive!
He will have the CT Scan tomorrow which will show if it has spread to other organs.
The surgeon will see us Thursday to go over the results.
The surgery will require an abdominal incision, and resection of the bowel (NO colostomy)
Surgery be scheduled Thursday at our visit for @ mid July
A specialized biopsy will be done then to stage the cancer and check the lymph nodes.
Those test results will determine the need for chemo.
Please keep praying ~
Thank you and God bless
no problem ~ thank you
this tells me a bit more than our private emails...I will check-in here so you won't have to send all over the place.
Wow, this news is very positive and I am going to trust that the resection will not show a need for further excising. God is good! So glad you folks caught it in time. Thursday should tell the whole picture. I'll continue prayers for both of you.
God bless!
