What does a person do after all that?
Well, on 3/1 when I was admitted for my last dose of chemo, I started having mild symptoms of a problem with the colon. So on Tuesday morning I had a colonoscopy done and a biopsy was done, which was positive. On Sat I had another CT scan which showed nothing in the lungs, liver or lymph nodes that they could see, but I still have a local area near the bowel, which we knew about. Apparently the chemo didn't reach the area.
Tom and I met with the surgeon this week, and I am scheduled for another HIPEC procedure on 4/13. (Yes it's the same surgery that was done in August, but with a focus on the localized area near the bowel and deep in the pelvis)
I did return to work full time on Wednesday 3/10, and will work until 4/9. It will be a great distraction and I will feel productive and useful.
Thank you all again for your prayers and support. Please keep the prayers coming!
Till next time :-) Bets
