@duckduck2020 Just popping in to say hi and to see how you’re doing.
You had so much going on at one time with your surgery and the loss of your brother. I know you were dreading the ileostomy surgery. Are you coping this change ok? I’m sure it’s going to take time to get used to a new routine. Have you been able to resume your chemo treatments now?

Again, I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother. I hope you were able to be with your family during this sad time. Thinking of you...Lori

Thank you for thinkingi about me . Yes a lot has happened . First off I was on the hospital from Wed till Monday , I was in so much pain and the Doctor said there was so much infection in there. I still cannot believe that she still did the surgury. I wished I had never had it done. The surgeon wanted to take me off of all meds and fluids and give me some really string pain meds ! All I had to do was Sign the DNR. . Snd she would do it . My wife after she left said I hope you understand you were signing my death wish ! She did not like it so I called the nurse in and told her to cancel it ! She called the aft and the Dr had to tell en my family could deal with it I said that is what I wanted .
Well here I am two weeks later and when I went in on Tuesday the chemo dr would not give me chemo because he thought I might still have infection . That was after he talked to the surgeon and had to walk out of the room when he was talking to her, that ticked me off.
Something is just not right on this picture to me. He was so nice abdvresfy to follow through until then .
I hate it when they are so secret !
Then I had to go to the surgeon and she took the drainage tube out and said you are all set . I said that means I can go on my fishing trip and she said do whatever you want! I asked her how the colon was and she said well you still have cancer there . I knew that but wanted to know if it shrunk . She said yes some :!
I feel Chemo dr told her what my wife said and that was she thought. The surgeon just wanted me to die !
I know my wife is uncomfortable with the chemo dr also! He seemed washy eadhy with some of his answer too .
Anyway I am going on my fishing trip with my family from the 9 th 13! Then I see his nurse oractioner on the 25 th and she will discuss my chemo options then
