Today was the last day for radiation therapy and my last large chemo injection. We went in to KU MedWest at 8:15 a.m. and finally left there for the radiologists around 1:30 or 2 and left there around 4 p.m. . I would be be totally beat but they have loaded me up with so many steroids and offsetting drugs that I am tired but hyper. This will probably last until Thursday and then I will be done for about 3 days. But the good news they are done with radiation, chemo will be for one more week and then I start getting ready for the surgery. As you can imagine I am real tired of spending time in Doctors office and Hospital but I guess I may as well get use to it.
The surgery will take 5-6 hours. The biggest problem is infection, pneumonia and leakage around the incision. If it goes well, they estimate 7-14 days and could be back on solic foods withing 2-4 weeks. Some people I have talked to have had good results within 3-6 months and some I have talked to it has taken much looker---but the good news is I have talked to several who have survived more than 5 years
