Met with my Godsend Doc Cardile at Unity HC today. Also emails with the surgeon's office.
Cancer op now 7:30 am this Friday, Nov 30.
Bunch of pre-op stuff on Thursday at the hospital and then another night drinking the gallon of drano that cleans you out, on the toilet, all night. What fun!
My doc expects me to be in hosp post op till Mon or so.
Then, if she can arrange it, Christ House thru Saturday so I'm near the hosp, and med team once the biopsy and detailed results come in.
Her guess is that then I can accept the Christian Kindness offered me by friends in Philadelphia to be there for the weeks it will take the 2/3 of my bowel that is left, to come back on line and stabilize.
A wrinkle I didn't understand was the possibility / likelihood (???) of Chemo afterward. I think they know of my reticence to have money spent on my life, so they may be piece-mealing me. She was a little concerned when I spoke of being out of the DC area but relaxed when we realized I could always hop on a bus. Hmmmm.
