Cancer Update: New Pain Meds WORKING. Back pain explained. NEW CHEMO ROUNDS, 3 :-( . Staples removed....
Earlier today: http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2013/11/cancer-update-have-been-slepping-off.html
New Pain Meds WORKING. Simple ibupropin, but heavy dose - PAIN MANAGEABLE FOR THE FIRST IN MANY DAYS!!!
I Love my surgeon (as I Love Doc Hwang, and primary Doc Cardile) - I don't use the term lightly. Angels. Godsends I think he, Doc Fisbein, is head of liver transplant department at Georgetown, but I don't know that. But he is a master surgeon, teaching all over the world. Humble. Kind. Generous with his Lovely smile, time, patience. Master at what he does. Great communicator.
He, doc F, feels their part of it was 100% successful. The path report says yes, the tumors were cancerous, malignant, largely but not all dead from the chemo prior and the embolism of Sept. (God bless Doc Banovac). Needed to come out. Path report says, got them all, with a big margin of healthy tissue to spare. All, perfect signs.
Back Pain - I told doc F my guess that they must hyper extend the back during surgery to open up the surgery site, or something. I said I guess that because both immediately post op, and for days, my top pain site by far was not my tummy, but my back. No, he said. But what we do is litterally place a hook under the rib cage, in my case, on the right side, to lift it up. Also, on that side only, we cut all the stomach muscles. So, between both, yes, it would have the same effect on the back.
NEW CHEMO ROUNDS, 3 :-( .
I think the learned process of cancer treatment is one step at a time - tell the patient, one step at a time, only. It can be a long process and they don't want to scare off the patient up front? I have no complaint.
So... doc F is expecting that my oncologist will likely propose 2-3 more rounds of chemo. Oh joy. :-( The concern is, if even 1 or 2 or 3... cancer cells escaped into the lymph, or wherever, it all starts again.
Staples removed....
Far from painless, but surely tolerable, and much more comfortable with them out than in.
'It'll be 3 months from the operation that you will begin to feel normal again.' Doc F.
Oh, LOL - doc F said, and truly seemed to mean, 'You have been a great patient,' even despite my strong, totally drugged opposition, immediately post op - my psychotic break. He and the team surely deserved nothing less from me.
He explained that the anesthesia team now, can completely reverse the drugs that put you under with their opposites, producing the effect of instantly coming to - sometimes, to ill effects. Amazing.
After seeing Doc F, and some of his wonderful, Loving team today, Ms. Lund, Nurse Megan... I left and went up to 7 Bles, at GUH, my site for the 8 days of often really rough recovery. I wanted to say a final, 'thanks.' They were overjoyed to see me, and so pleased I was doing so well.
There are little bits of Christ, Loving, the Spirit if God, Jesus-likes, Christ-likes.... to be found even today. Must proliferate, or all will be lost, forever.
I am a typing cripple - severe atrophy. Skills hugely atrophied. :-(
Well, looks like I may have another 10 or 20 years to Serve. My only 2 prayers are, 1st for the next 200 billion kids, and 2nd, that I get back in the fight, fast, even partly worthy of all the Love, and Kindness, and Service that is being squandered on me.

Cancer Update: Have been slepping off the pain, for days now....
It isn't that the pain is excruciating, it is not. It is that it is endless, or it is that
I've become a lush, a lazy bum, but I don't feel that later way. But it is possible.
I've weaned completely off the opiates, I think. Today will be my 1st full day,
but I've been on 1/4 rations or less for days.
My body has even said, don't even watch MSNBC - sitting up is too painful.
Just lie back, and find positions where there is no pain, and sleep. So, for days
now.... argh.
Today, in an hour, I head to the hospital to get the staples removed and to hear from
the surgeon about the path report.
I'll ask him about non-addictive pain meds.
