Hi, dear all.Yesterday was a good day to us.My hubby and I went to see the surgeon,the surgeon couldn't do a ultrasound because my hubby just finished chemo and radiation a week ago,so he only checked him with his finger,then we chatted some about the coming up surgery.The surgeon said the good thing is he couldn't feel the tumor anymore! and he is very optimistic about my hubby is only going to have a temporary colostomy after surgery!
My hubby still needs follow-up check in the next couple of weeks by ultrasound to see what happened to the tumor.I am guessing my hubby had a pretty good response to the treatment,that's why the surgeon couldn't feel the tumor anymore.The tumor possibly shrank dramatically or totally disappeared.

Another thing is finally my hubby could do the MRI.He couldn't do the MRI because he had the pump.He had leg pain during the chemo and radiation for about a week,that was unbearable pain, then we went to see the primary doctor since both the radiation oncologist and chemo oncologist said that had nothing to do with them.The primary doctor said he should do a MRI to make sure that was not cancer spread to the bone,when I heard that,I was scared like a trembling chicken.Finally the MRI was done and everything is Normal.Well,you know the feeling of living with uncertainty and waiting......

Anyway yesterday was a good day to us,we were both very happy.Thank you very much for listening and your supports.I am hoping everybody is having a good weekend.

    WooHoo
    That is wonderful news. It is great going into surgery with very little or no tumor left. Sounds like your doctors were on target (literally) when they planned and treated his tumor. That is just awesome news.

    I am so glad the hubby is doing well. You whole attitude has changed from the uncertain and scared woman that first came on this board. I hope everything continues to go well for you and the hubby.
