Hi all,
Haven't post much on here, but appreciate this board, and all great people and info.
Had my tumor cut out on Tuesday, and everything went well.
tumor was deep in pelvise, and because of that and its size dr couldn't staple attachment back robotically, so cut a larger opening
They removed about half of rectum,4 inches?
And also about 4 inches of colon. They put te ieoloscopy bag , and I had a catheter, and IV for two days was on Liquid diet
Had some shaking in recovery, back at the room they had me on dilaudid IV, which helped with pain,
Next day the put me on toradol not sure if that did too much
I took people's advice and
Got walking the first night. With some help, and by next day I was walking on my own..
I glad to be going home today!, will be meeting Doctor next week for pathology report on tumor.
Wishing everybody the best, Chuck
