Today you talked to 'everyone', you said. You spoke with the surgeon, the doctor who will be doing the endoscopy and biopsy tomorrow, and you spoke with our family physician. You cancelled your appointment with Susan because you didn't feel strong enough to drive and walk up to her office by yourself. The surgeon agreed to do a duodenal bypass. As it turns out, stents aren't the success in the duodenum that they are in the cardiovascular system. They clog up. Maybe you'll be able to eat again.
It was an uneventful day. But you vomited even the water you had consumed, and walking from the car, to the grocery, and then to the video store completely wore you out.
Tomorrow should be a hallmark day. You will finally get your biopsy. It seems like we have been waiting for this for so long yet it's only been two weeks. But two weeks can be the rest of your life when you have cancer.
