Hey Everyone. I'm Tim and my wife Patty just had her stoma opened last night at the hospital. Today, she had her first meal since the 19th. Chicken broth. Patty says it was wonderful. Patty has been fighting Ovarian Cancer for going on 6 years now and the Docs just performed surgery to find the cause of her bowel pain and the CA-125 Cancer marker increase. Well, they found 3 tumors. Two of them were blocking her digestive system. The furthest up was in her small intestine and they had to do her Ileostomy to eliminate the blockages. I've found this group and another on mIRC for us to learn from. Patty isn't sure what to think yet, and she's still kind of shook up. I'm going to try to get her to get in here and talk to all of you. I know it would be helpful to her. Her doc says she may be able to come home next week. It's good to meet all of you, and I look forward to speaking with each of you. Take care, Tim  |

I didn't get a chance to speak to you last night when you were on IRC.
Just thought I would wish you and Patty good luck anyway.
Good Luck,
Sean

Hi Tim & Patty How are you patty after your op, hope you are gettig stronger by the day, I know it takes time I had my Ileostomy just over two years ago and then was in again this Jan for a remodling job, but all is ok now, I still get very tired as suppose you have found out but with the support of Tim and other family & friends I am sure you will come on leaps and bounds. So make the most of every one else doing the running around. Well my turn to cook the tea tonight so had better go and make a start. All the best Chris, And keep your chin up, ;D ;D ;D |
