Just a quick update guys. I saw the surgeon yesterday for my first post-op check up, and he was very happy with how the surgery has healed. I still have a little pain , but day to day I don't feel too bad. I now have to see the specialist next week for an MRI, and to plan the chemo and radiation therapy.
I actually had the chance to talk to the surgeon for a bit, and one thing he told me that was an eye opener and just a bit scary was how close to death I was when I was first admitted to hospital. One of the tumors (the one they removed) had perforated the wall of my peritonium, and I was hemorrhaging freely into my abdominal cavity (so much so I had to have two blood transfusions before the surgery). He told me had I not sought treatment, I would have been fortunate to last twelve hours. Lucky for me my wife was smart enough to call the ambulance when she did, despite stupid me insisting "No, just give me a few minutes, I'll be alright." D'oh!
