I finished my two weeks of radiation today. Thanks to the surgery and my surgeon moving a piece of small bowel away from the tumor, we were able to be more aggressive in treating the tumor. It would have been really dangerous to have treated it this way with the small intestine in the way. So I am very thankful that the Lord used the emergency surgery to bring about a better outcome.
It can take a while for the full effect of the radiation to kick in, so I will see the doctor again in four weeks. For now, I'm going to spend time focusing on resting and recovering from the surgery. My nausea is improving slightly. Thanks for all your prayers and for some good advice from my aunt Beth.
I also saw the surgeon yesterday. He removed one of the drains and the staples from my incision. I go back in a week to see if the other drain will be ready to be removed.
Have a good weekend!
