Talk about ups and downs with this thing! Today Mike saw the surgeon and as of Monday, August 26 he will be 6-weeks post op. According to doc, after Monday Mike can push a car if he wants to. Absolutely no restrictions. Even gave him a letter indicating he can go back on duty with the Air Force after the 26th. The next colonoscopy is scheduled for mid December, not mid October like I thought the oncologist suggested yesterday.
The only thing left between now and then is the genetic stuff. If all of that comes out negative and the colonoscopy is clear in December we will have one FANTASTIC Christmas!
It still amazes me this has all happened in the span of two months.
On June 25, 2010, at age 37, my husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. Following a right-hemicolectomy, genetic testing determined the cause was due to HNPCC/Lynch Syndrome. On December 9, 2011 he had a subtotal colectomy.
