We met with Rich’s surgeon last Tuesday for his CT Scan results. The Dr. said that everything looks normal, his bowels are a bit inflammed but he think that’s from all the trauma of his last surgery and that it will all clear up after he is put back together in a few months. So now…Rich’s oncologist in Vancouver is setting up 5 more lumbar punctures, which is just a precaution in case his disease has been hidding in his spine. The do inject chemotherapy into his spinal fluid but he doesn’t get any side effects from this procedure. After the chemo treatements are all finished we need to set up an appointment to meet with his surgeon in Vancouver to see when his surgery will be reversed and what the timing for recovery will be.
Thanks for all of your support!!!!
Rich and Katrina Smid.
