Dr update

On Monday May 9th we met with Dr Lichti. Unfortunately the biospy hasn't been read yet. So at this point They're treating it like cancer. Hopefully results say otherwise. The results should be in tonight or tomorrow. Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday the 11th. The bad news...there was a block in the colon when they did the colonoscopy so they were unable to get past that block to see what else there is. So we know there's that spot and another spot that showed up on the CT. other then that, nothing else is showing up as far as the growths go. So the Dr doesn't know what he's dealing with until he gets in there to do surgery. We're hopeful there is nothing else in there. It's possible there is though. The Dr is going to do a little "exploring" once he gets in to make sure nothing has spread. He's hopeful I won't have to have a colostemy bag (thank heaven!!!) But again, time will tell. I may have to have an NG tube (ew ew ew!) Thank you again for all the phone calls, texts, and prayers! We're very thankful and lucky to have awesome family and friends!
