Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I thought I would update everyone on my ONC appointment today. All went well. He seemed to feel that I still need time to get over these last two surgeries and just take it easier then I have been. My weight is still down. It has been a month and a half since the surgeries. I do feel stronger and better. I was so worried that he would recomend more chemo. But he never mentioned it. I asked about my next colonoscopy. He feels that my body has been through so much for now that we will wait three more months before we schedule one. This concerns me since I was under the impression that a colonoscopy is done one year after the colon surgery. It will be one year Sept. 29 from my original colon surgery. My CEA is back down and blood counts are good. I asked why I feel so tired? I had thought it could be blood counts but that is not the case. He said it is because my body needs time to heal itself from having two major surgeries six days apart. For the most part I am feeling a lot better other then I get wore out very easily. So all and all it was good news today. Thanks for listening. Ingrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Ingrid so glad to hear you got some good news today! You have gone through so much I am amazed at the things you do and am sure the Dr is right. You need more rest and let your body heal. It takes time and especially after what you have been through.
