Post op

I got home about 11:00 today. It was worth it to stay overnight because I got to talk to my colon surgeon, gyn oncologist and my medical oncologist all separately this morning.  Unfortunately they seem to have some differing of opinions.  My medical oncologist wants to wait to make any decisions on further treatments until the official pathology report comes back which can take up to 10 days.  Unfortunately he did talk about some more chemo treatments.  One of the options he talked about is giving my abdomenal cavity a hot chemo bath.  It is pretty much what it sounds like, they cut you open and pour chemo Inside.  That scares the heck out of me!  Can't imagine the side effects!  So let's just hope and pray for the cancer to have only been one place on the one ovary! It is not good that it actually grew during chemo!

He also doesn't necessarily see the ovaries having cancer as ruling out radiation like my dr in NYC did.  However the colon surgeon was VERY against radiation just like the NYC dr.  One thing my oncologist did agree on was to wait to operate on the lung! I was happy to hear that.

  On another note I am feelin ok.  I am up and moving around and have the pain under control from the incisions, all 5 of them!  One thing that is not under control is the pain from being pumped full of Air for the surgery.  No pain meds take away that pain so it is all on my positions and it can be hard to lay down or sit or stand at times.

 So once again the fate of the next few months of my life remains on hold.  Thanks for all the prayers and positive energy for a successful surgery!  I believe the prayers of patience are helping, I'm getting pretty good at waiting!
