Hello My Friends,
CT Scan seems to be stable with Cancer, but I have major issues with my small bowel. It's got worse and now I am distended almost everyday, even if I barely eat, have Small Bowel Obstruction (Partial) they are going to meet next week to discuss next steps, like surgery most likely. Oncologist postponed Chemo today because of possible surgical procedure and plus with the SBO issues I barely eat and lost about 15 LBS so far over 3 weeks. I am drinking Ensure and eating yogurt, once a day and maybe something heavier, but very small portions, still have partial blockage so I get swollen belly like I am pregnant(LOL) and it kind of sucks cause then I throw up what I might of ate day before because its just not moving into the intestines'.
I think once this is fix which I have been dealing with for 2 years since last open surgery I am going to be much better. They are not 100% sure yet if its adhesions, peritoneal carcinomatosis or something else, but I am leaning toward adhesions cause I never had this issue before. The Abdominal pain can be super painful almost excruciating, it doesn't happen everyday, but I am distended most days.
I tell you if its not one thing its something else. Ugh!!! PS Cea is now 53 from 23 3 weeks ago and I think its all have to do with the abdominal issue because cancer is stable.
