Pat I am sure you are dreading more surgery just as I was. Just let me say

I had the second colon resection end of August and feel better then I have since

before the cancer was first found in 2003. I really had a bad time with

infections and felt terrible for months after my first resect and swore would

never have another surgery. Sometimes we do not have a choice and I had to have

the second one done because a striture closed my rectum up and in three pet

scans showed a mass lit up outside my colon. The good news is the mass even

though it showed up in Pet scans was scar tissue and that is also what closed my

rectum. I was 9 hrs in surgery because they had to cut so much scar tissue out.

I came home on the 8th day and except for getting more tired then usual would

never know I had surgery except I in general felt much better. I think you will

feel better after surgery and the sooner it is done the better. The waiting and

wondering is the worst part.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there!
