Greetings.
yesterday (7-26-12) my surgeon completed the colostomy bag take down, cut out the "dead tumor" from my colon. (the transverse colon, next to the liver).
so far, it appears to be a complete success.
Passing gas now, and they'll allow for me to eat food tomorrow.
so excited to have this surgery behind me.
begin "maintenance chemo" in six weeks.
I'm super pissed off at Cancer but I hope to have Cancer more pissed off at me... for kicking Cancers Butt!!!
cheers to you.
Hugs from Toledo

I still haven't had food, but hope to have some tomorrow.
