I'm in hospital for an operation for colon cancer. They will come for me 8am tomorrow morning (in about 14 hours) and I'm beginning to feel a bit scared.
On the bright side the doctors are quite certain that it can't have spread yet, I apparently reacted in time, I may even get to skip chemotherapy.
My daughter will come visiting tomorrow after work, which should correspond with the time I'm getting back from the wake-up room (4pm).
It will be a keyhole operation (probably, says the surgeon) and I shouldn't be in too much discomfort afterwards. Still, I'm getting a distinct feeling that my warranty is running out .
So,I'm waiting. I wish it was over and I was back at work. It has been so damned fast, four weeks ago I didn't know anything was wrong, then colonoscopy, gastroscopy, CT-scan and now operation. I appreciate that it is done fast, my mind just haven't caught up with the facts yet.
The medical technology is fascinating, though.
