Upcoming major surgery, update on my condition.
11 years ago
General
Please check out my previous journals if you are unaware of what has happened.
It has been just 3 months ago today that I was diagnosed with cancer. I did 4 cycles of chemotherapy and on the 2nd of January got new CT scans. Good news from the scans; the two tumors in my liver has shrunk a decent amount. I am now ready for surgery. The surgery date will be the last week of January, exact date has not been set but I expect it to be the 27th or 28th.
The surgery will be a liver and colon resection. They will have to remove between a foot and a foot and a half of the right side of my colon along with a chunk of my liver and a bunch of lymph nodes in the area. This is a bit of a scary surgery (especially the liver resection part). But I have a lot of confidence in my surgeons. After the surgery I will be in the hospital for at least 5-7 days, and have a recovery time of about 6 weeks.
I want to thank everyone again for the support you have given me during this difficult time, I love you all <3
Also if anyone local want to stop by while I am in the hospital recovering, my surgery is taking place at Abbot Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis. I don't know exactly where in the hospital my recovery room will be yet, but I will post that and the exact dates later when I know.

Thanks for the update. You are in my thoughts every night when I send out positive energy to those in need. Keep positive and happy and smile and laugh if you can after your surgery, as they are great healers!

Hang in there Draces, don't be worried but be overjoyed that the bad stuff is getting blasted, beat down and then hauled off to jail! (no parole) Yep you'll feel like a train wreck and you'll make some temporary adjustments and then you'll be ship shape again!!
