I actually feel quite good. I definitely feel much better than a year ago.
The two days I was hospitalized, I was on the cancer floor and it drove home that this cancer is not like others. I’m not going to die a slow lingering death.
But, I could die very quickly.
The carcinoid crisis could have been much worse. I was lucky this time.
I could have an intestinal blockage.
Or, less fast, I could have liver failure.
Surgery to eliminate those risks sounds like a good plan and easy choice.
