A Visit with the Surgeon

Last Monday the Chemo nurse sent me over to visit with the surgeon as I was still having pain. He read the Radiologists report on the PET scan
and told me that I was more than likely fighting an infection. He put me on a months worth of two very strong antibiotics and ordered a CT scan in two weeks. He told me that if I was dealing with an infection all those inflammatory conditions would likely go away and that my body would heal. He also told me that I may have to have surgery to remove a portion of the colon but that we would wait to see how my body responded to the antibiotics first. All of the inflammation could be the cause of the added metabolic activity in the area. So I am on antibiotics for now, but no chemo drugs!
