Pat, I am so sorry that you are so upset with this news. Please

think of it of a way of getting closer to being normal and getting

better. Look at the bright side too. We all are so scared of the

cancer coming back. This news is NOT cancer but a repair!!!!! This is

not the worst news you could of had.

I understand that getting more surgery is no fun. But this will

make you feel better in the long run. Winter might be the better time

to get this done since you cannot be too active outside. By the time

warmer weather gets here you will be feeling so much better and ready

to spend lots of time outside doing what ever.

I am Praying for you and trying to will good vibes towards you!!!

Love, Ingrid

Pat,

If I am hearing you right you have an abses? My wife got and abses

and they did not do major surgery, but put in a drain to drain out

the " stuff " . She was in the hospital another 1.5 weeks for that. She

was able to go home with it and got it taken out about a week later.

They gave her a colostomy to keep that part of the colon clean. She

has had the colostomy for about 6 weeks now and gets it reversed in

Jan. The worse thing would to keep having the abses grow, that is

why the colostomy. Good luck. and hang in there.
