Good News!

Fred came through the surgery very well.

I talked to the surgeon after it was all over and he said as far as he could tell by eye, it did not appear that the cancerous polyp {found in a routine colonoscopy} had grown down into the bowel as it appeared to have done from the colonoscopy pictires. He told me that the part he cut out and the lymph nodes will be biopsied and he hopes the news will be that the cancer has NOT spread. If it has, {and we should know in a few days} Fred will be having chemotherapy after the incision has healed which should be in about six weeks.

Fred was in pain but coherent when I saw him in the recovery room. I will go and see him tomorrow.

I am exhausted!
