The chemo IV part is now done and he has started on the Chemo pills which will last for the next 2 weeks.

Mid December he has a CT scan that a specialist in Edmonton will look at to determine if it is 'worth it' to open him up. If no cancer can be seen she will open him up, look for cancer and remove it if she can, re-attach his colostomy and fix the hernia he got when they removed the cancer and wash the outside of his intestines with a chemo solution. If she opens him up and the cancer is spreading she may just close him up or she may do the colostomy and hernia and then close him up. At any point where there is spreading cancer then it is palliative chemo.

It has a lot of waiting for information in the next few months. This waiting is hard with a great deal of hope and fear mixed together.

As soon as he is awake again, he will finish packing his meds and clothes an then I will need to load up the car. He wants to do a few missions before we leave town. I really hope we get out of town early as the drive is 2.5 hours to get home.
