Visit with the Surgeon

Just came in from a walk around the Crescent – about 100 yards. We went to see the surgeon on Wednesday who will see me again in about two months. The Stent seems to be holding. I also had the chance to consult with a doctor in the oncology department who explained to me that, normally, a person needs to wait at least two weeks following the surgical procedure before chemo treatments can begin. I will keep the scheduled appointment with my original Oncologist and see him next Thursday, the 13th. At that time, it will be determined whether or not I have sufficient energy and strength to go forward with chemo. Apparently a person needs LOTS of energy to withstand the initial effects, so I want to start out on a strong foot. My goal then is to gain energy every day so that in a week’s time I will be ready.
