Just met with my surgical oncologist. THE dude. The plan is something like this - Hes still very excited that the mucin (cancerous fluid) didnt return to the extent he expected. He wants to get it all tomorrow, but thats unlikely. Hes going to play it safe and get as much as he can, but not do more damage than good. There is a strong likelihood of a minor bowel resection. Hes going to focus on the area that could cause me the most trouble (around my stomach). He expects that this will help me into the near future, where well revisit the situation and stage it (get more cancer out until its gone..if that remains a possibility). So yeah...all that. More importantly, they are about to start me on bowel prep or what I refer to as drinking poop juice. Let the games begin.
