Follow up appointment.

Saw my naturopathic doctor yesterday and got a lot of good information and nutritional advice, along with some supplements.  He works with Cancer Treatment Centers of America.  I am not supposed to eat any sugar, corn, potatoes, pasta, bread, or grains.  Does that rule out the Chinese buffet for my birthday ;)

J & I saw the surgeon tonight for a follow-up.  He said I can schedule my second surgery 3 months and 1 minute after the first one, lol!  He went over the pathology report.  The tumor had not penetrated the colon wall.  All margins were clear.  They believe, though can't be certain, that the colon ruptured above the tumor.  Since it was too difficult to tell they want to treat it as a ruptured tumor.  I will also have a colonoscopy before the second surgery.  He said I should be in the hospital a minimum of 5 days again.

The children are doing well and I think J is caught up on his sleep.  My mom is working on some new curtains for the girl's room before she goes home.

Next up is an appointment with an oncologist.  We've chosen one, but don't have a date set yet.
