Hi to all PM/ICD friends who helped pray for my husband, Paul who recently had a large "questionable CA" polyp removed from his rectum; It's been an anxious and traumatic 2 wks for my family, but like we say, everything comes to pass...I'm here to report again.
Paul's operation went well other than some bleeding which the Dr kept him another day in hospital.
There's good news and bad news; The bad one is that the histology report from the tumour was cancerous. The good news is that we might have caught it early, as the surgeon said there was only a small focus in the tumour. However, we're now still uncertain as to how much the cancer cells have invaded into the rest of the rectum or colon wall.
We're in the process of seeking expert help from another source as second opinion so that we'd be able to address the problem better. His surgeon is not convinced with the first report from the lab. We just need to wait and see. One step at a time again.
For myself amidst all this happening, I had to run to the EP last week for tachycardia and ICD interrogated detected 9 episodes. Status quo, nothing can be done for me as well as ablation at this time would be dangerous cos I've got in me a lead on recall, so EP said to only monitor till inevitable to "go in again to ablate". Oh well..
God is still good, I'm confident that all will be well, with so many of you out there praying, wishing us well and the good Lord above, who can be against us? Thank you all once again, tomorrow I'll accompany hubby to his surgeon for checks. Hope that there's light at end of tunnel? Bye for now...
