Well everyone, I have lived through the surgery and the first week...Though I am not out in the clear yet, I have made progress and things are looking up.
Spoke with the doctor this morning and the results should be back from the pathologist and what this tumor really is.
I'm still in a bit of pain and I get sick easy. They said I could try solid foods today, but I'm skeptical as to how well I can handle it. I've been getting sick and throwing up the last two days just by drinking a bit of juice and water, so I really want to take it easy and may just nibble some oatmeal or something soft.
The surgery went better then they though and the tumor came right out. They didn't have to do the whole Whipple operation, which is great. I have all my organs except the gall bladder and a bit of the pancreas. Lets pray the pathologist has good news now!
Well I need to go walk around and then try to rest.
Much love,
Cat

Cat, I was thinking about you. I initially read about your plight on DPS. I happened across the initial post that I had read on DPS where you posted your blog and I had to pop out to see how your surgery went. I'm so glad that it went better than expected and I pray that you have a speedy recovery.
