Got back from London yesterday afternoon, traffic was pretty clear.
The procedure i had on Monday was an angiogram to check if i needed to have an embilisation done on the arteries in the right of my pelvis (that is - if the tumor had connected up with the right side or not).
The radiologist could not determine any links so he halted the procedure, i asked if that was good/bad. His reponse was that it would make the main surgerical procedure less complicated because only one blood vessel would have to be managed.
Feeling pretty shiy though so the main op can't come too soon. I'm currenlty on 10mg of morphine twice a day, intersped with 30ml of Oramorph as breakthrough, neadless to say i'm spending a lot of time in bed because driving is out of the question.

This time next week it will all be over and the recovery process will have begun. At a guess you are currently scared because you are having a major op, worried that they may not get it all, excited to be getting rid of that nasty thing, desparate for it all to be over, worried for your family, feeling sorry for yourself etc etc. Oh and don't forget the pain meds in hospital are pretty good so thats one thing to look forward to.
We are all rooting for you - once you are up to it please let us know how it goes
