    biopsies complete

    Met with my surgeon on Wed to go over the procedure, she said she was trying to get the pathologist to be in the OR, fast foward this didn't happen so I am not only back to waiting on pathology reports but quite dissapointed since I really thought the pathologist would be there. She said she would take several biopsies and use a bit of a different technique so we'll see what that brings. in the meantime she told me this would be my last round of biopsies and we have gone as far as we can without doing more damage, that leaves 2 choices, treatment or a colostomy, I haven't wrapped my head around making any decisions until the results are in. I also had a ct scan and a pet on Wed, biopsies were yesterday. got home last night and actually slept well and rested all day. Now waiting it out....

    Once you have the results I hope you'll reach a decision as to what to do and once you do that you will be on your way to healing.  The waiting is so difficult for me.  But it is what it is and fill up your time so it will go fast.  I wish you well. Lori

    Thanks Lori, I have been saying a lot of "it is what it is" lately

    Waiting with you!

    I'm sorry that the pathologist could not be there to give you immediate results.  I think we all agree that waiting for such things is the worst!  We are here for you, no matter what!
