Thanks Neighbor. Not knowing what's going to happen next is the hard part. My surgeon was very honest with me - hoping to do a temporary ileostomy, but no guarantees. He didn't seem to be too concerned about the 2 lesions on my liver, other than the fact that the cancer had spread. Easy enough to remove at the time of surgery.
My mass is approx. 3-4cm and above the muscle - it all depends on how much they'll be able to shrink that sucker. I started chemo on Dec. 13th and I already have relief from the pain in my XXX.
I hope you have a great New Year as well!
