Thank you so much Sue! My surgery and all my doctors are through Aurora which is a major hospital in my area, they all communicate and work together as a team. While I was in my infectious disease doctor appointment today he was actually messaging with my surgeon. So they are going to start me on the medication starting today, and then they'll continue it while I'm in the hospital which I'll be in for about a week, maybe less depending on how fast my intestines start back up again. He's starting me on one drug every 5 days. So the next drug I start will be under the care of hospital staff. I think he's starting me on the easiest one first. I'm hoping they'll be no complications. I was a little surprised he didn't want to wait until after the surgery but he said that there would be no reason to wait. That they shouldn't affect anything with the surgery. My surgery has been changed to Thursday morning also so I we'll have only taken a couple doses by the time I'm admitted if they wanted me to stop something. My infectious disease doctor said he was going to come and see me while I was in the hospital after the surgery. I'm glad I am going to a place that the doctors all work together because everyone kind of needs to be on the same page with everything going on with me, and it's kind of nice to have all my doctors under one roof for me also because I can go on my app and look at any test from any one of my doctors, or email any one of them. Thank you for all your information and help!! You know so much about this!! 🤗

This morning is your surgery, I believe.
Sending healing thoughts and support your way — you will do GREAT and what a relief to know the cancer is out and you can just work on healing.
I know you are taking care of a grandchild — do you have a support system there to help you?
Keep us posted!

Edit —- oops just read the surgery is canceled til Thursday.
