First a big "thank you" for the prayers and positive thoughts. I think it works and I know I felt it. I felt very protected and safe as they rolled me into the OR. Now, there's only one reason I can see for that feeling when you're headed in to cancer surgery.
So, thank you all and keep up the good work. There's still a few things to be resolved.
There's no pathology report as yet. That takes 2 weeks they say. I'll be back there in 3-4 weeks for a standard clinical follow-up, standard "how's that other kidney doing" blood tests and a "standard" chest CT scan.
I will also get a non-standard MRI to check the "concerning" liver lesion. If it has not changed in size, shape or radioactive "enhancement", they will keep watching it with regular MRI's I guess.
If it has changed, they will most likely biopsy it and decide on further action from that. Teh Doc thinks it is another hemangioma, and that's what I'm praying for; seems like the lesser of evils, for sure.
I am in a bit of pain, but the pills handle it OK. I have a 4 inch North/South scar on the right side of my navel and about four 3/4 inch scars where they stuck in the "lights, camera, action!" stuff.
I mostly sleep and try to walk as much as possible. I only eat a little bit; nothing is really appealing. I have some breathing exercises to do since I lay down so much.
Things get a bit better every day.
Rude says he's going to come over and try to reprogram my analog stick. I can't really bend and twist under the puter desk to do much swapping to the old W98 puter.
Maybe I'll get up in AH before too long.
Thanks again for all the support; it may seem like a little thing to you but I assure you, it's been major for me.
Thank you all for your kind support.
