My colon cancer surgery was in july 2011, the monster was on the left side, colon descendent, very close the sigma, at the beginning II stage but because they found a perforation full of liquid and carcinoma mucus they treat me as III stage chemo.
In these almost 4 years of ct scan, markers and colonoscopy my happiness to be clean has been cancelled by the intestine small bowel obtructions drama.....
After the first year from the surgery i started to experience mountly intestine blockages, every mount 2,3 days in bed with pain and a sofference unavailable, nausea, desire to vomit, no food and barely drink water, only tons of oxycodone pills!!!
After many ct scan specific to the small intestine with all the contrast and bario, mri, xray.....nothing, it always looked perfect.
After last strong blockage of a week of duration i run to the emergency and finally from the ctscan right during the pain iy was clear that the reasons of this hell were some adhesions at the small intestine.....
They told me that the open surgery could fix some adhesions but create others but in my case the frequency of the problem could worth the surgery.....obviously in laparoscopy with less chances of collateral damages would be the best thing.....WELL...3 weeks ago i decide for a surgery.....after more than one hour trying with the laparoscopy the surgeon had to open up again all my abdomen because a part of my small intestine was lace up like a shoe and had put everything out, cut out an ernia that he told me to be very next to be another cancer and fixed several big scar tissue/adhesions.....now after 3 weeks of hard recovery where my intestinal functions seemed to be little by little better so i was full of hopes that my life would start to be better...do you know what???????
Well, yesterday i had a blockage of 1 day, ultra painful.......again...i think that this drama will never end.....
Sorry for the lenght of my post, the depression to feel myself in a tunnel is bad like the pain.....
