Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 I feel really good just still weak and expect it will take awhile. No pain from surgery but the arthritis in my spine decided to act up so that puts me right down in bed. I have morphine from the hospital but don't want to take that. It is just wonderful to sit and eat a meal without running to the bathroom as soon as I get two bites. I only go 3 or 4 times a day now instead of the 20 or so. The surgeon had told me I would go more often but easier. I don't think they believed how many trips upstairs I was taking. I feel almost like a normal person:) I have not even had to get up during the night. I know we are using the best medical advances we have but nothing is perfect. This is the third time this mass has shown on a Pet scan or Pet/CT and it was NOT cancer. They would have done a biopsy like they did last year but the striture had gotten worse and they had no way to get up there to just biopsy.At least this surgeon got a lot of scar tissue out and hope I don't grow anymore:) I see him on Wed and now my mind is clearer I will get more info. I was not in to asking questions when they come in hospital at 5 am and your doped up besides. My CEA was running about 6 then started climbing and before this surgery had gone up to 12.1. Why that with no cancer I don't know but again it proves it is not that relieable. It very well could be because my smoking increased the more my nervous I got. I have finally woke up to the fact I have to stop smoking and am trying. Hil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
