    Pam, glad to hear you're getting all your answers and moving forward. That's great that your sis is coming.

    Sending you good thoughts down the 405.

    Pam, I am just catching up on some TE threads and I want to wish you safe passage on your healing journey. It sounds like you will have excellent care both during and after your surgery. Peggy Huttleston's book is an excellent resource to help prepare for surgery. Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster

    We will all be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers and seeing you ride effortlessly through all your procedures and recovery.

    Many blessings,

    Linda

    Best wishes Pam! I know everything will turn out great. Good thoughts and great surgeons are an unbeatable combination. Wonderful sister! Nothing like having family there when you need them. <<<Hug>>> Just in case you need an extra.

    Thinking of you Pam. Hope all goes smoothly and recovery is lickety-split. Good news about your sister.

    Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
    It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
    But you don't listen. You just push harder.
    And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
    And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.

    Sending prayers and energy to you, Pam. Please be sure to let us know the date of your surgery. I fervently believe in the power of positive energy. If we send it on the date of your surgery, I know it will help.

    Regarding chemo, my DH did not lose hair, but it was not pleasant. I think a lot depends on the type of chemo they need to give. DH was given a pretty good dose of chemo. Please keep in mind that there are lots of meds out there to help with nausea & diarrhea. Ask your oncologist. Don't be a hero. Dehydration can happen quickly and it will land you back in the hospital.

    So glad you will have support!! I honestly don't know how people go through it alone. I hope you won't hesitate to ask for what you need. Foot rubs are wonderful!

    Regarding colostomy, IF (big IF) they need to do it, it is often temporary. They can go back in later & fix it. I'm sure your surgeon told you that. Confidence in your doctors is so important! I'm thrilled that you like yours.

    Healing prayers to you.
