Status Update

Recovery has been going well, I am pretty much pain free now.  But yesterday afternoon through to this morning I have been feeling a bit ill, almost like I have a cold or flu, but no hard symptoms.  Last night I felt like a temperature was building but it was not.  I have the idea that I have some congestion stuck in my lungs, but it might be scar tissue, I guess.  I am also still affected by the chemo, no doubt this is slowing me down as well.

I have started feeling somewhat better this morning now that I am up and moving around, the weather forecast is good so I hope to go for a reasonable walk.  I did have the idea that all going well I would be doing some work from home today and perhaps getting into work tomorrow, I don't think that will happen, perhaps it will be a day later.

Next steps:

• Nurse visit due today to review and clean the wound and dressing - now done, wound and general recovery is all very good.
• Next Sunday 28th, prepare for colonoscopy, I am really looking forward to that (NOT!).
• Monday 29th, Colonoscopy, I really don't have a problem with this procedure, I will be sedated.
• Tuesday 30th,  Nurse visit to remove stitches from my drain site.
• Thursday 1st September, meet with Liver Surgeon to schedule liver resection, should also have pathology results from the lung resection last week.

So next week will be a big one, at the end of the week I will know the status of the lump cut out of my lung, I will know whether I have any new polyps or cancer in my colon and most likely know the date for my liver resection.
