Hi Theresa,
Thank you for reaching out. Wow. So much has happened. Dr. Stuckey did my surgery Aug 12, removing 12" of small intestine, which contained 13 grain of sand-sized NETs. Two of 22 lymph nodes were positive for mets. I had no pain at all after the surgery! No sepsis, no c-diff. Went home Aug 17. Doing okay at first, then loss of appetite and fatigue.
On Aug 28 I had doubled over severe lower abd pain and went to a Tucson ER. They air-lifted me to Mayo Phoenix, admitted for severe colitis and two abscesses. Placed on bowel rest with infused nutrients for 5 days. Two drains, on of which was removed before I came home Sept 4. I return to May this Tues for another CT, removal of drain. labs and visit with Dr. Stuckey.
It has been a very long haul! Some days are better than others & I find myself getting somewhat impatient to feel better. Everyone says my body has been through a LOT, so I believe them.
Thanks again!
