Is the third time the charm?
Tomorrow I will have my third surgery to try to get my vomiting under control. They are going to put a drainage tube directly from my stomach to the outside. The tube will be about a big as a thumb. Hopefully no complications and it will work. I think it distresses my family to hear me violently vomit all the time.
Surgeon said
1) Tumor is about the size of a fist and a half
2) I will be on liquid nutrician forever…but that is not a limiting factor. People have lived years on it.
3) No opinion on chemo. I asked him since he is the only one who has seen the tumors size and infiltration. His comment that it will be a new chemo regime for me so there is no way to know if it will work. Could be wasted time, could give me time
The procedure tomorrow will consist of a surgery using a gastroscopy and ultrasound together plus keyhole surgery. I will be under general anestesia.
Good luck and good thoughts and prayers needed.
