I had a follow-up meeting with the GI surgeon this morning and everyone is very happy with my pooping and lack of hernias and my very pretty scar. I have been cleared to exercise and get my shit together, carefully. Still not ready to shovel a foot of snow if it happens tomorrow, but by the time I am cleared to ride bikes again, I hope to be able to do so immediately.
Another surgical follow-up appointment in April when chemo is (hopefully) over unless the scan on the 24th shows something scary earlier than that. Other than that I won’t see them again until my next colonoscopy IN NOVEMBER!
It’s possible I am done talking to surgeons for awhile! Woohoo!
I will be best friends with Oncology for the foreseeable, but there is this weird calendar on the horizon where it’s possible I won’t be visiting a hospital every week for something or other. That’s gonna be weird.
Then, putting aside the stupid chances for a dumb relapse, we get to start talking to the Kidney folks about Backup Cancer. That’s not until June though, and the way my brain works right now, June is on the same timeline as the heatdeath of the universe.
Happy Monday!
