Off to the surgeon today, for a 'consult,' as they call it. Apprehensive, as always, about being probed. Everybody seems to want their own poke around in there. I think all that poking is simply angering the colon.
Not quite sure what else to expect today. Will a date be set for surgery? Are there tests needed to confirm the location and present size of the tumor? What about bags? What's the likelihood of my needing a temporary ileostomy bag? Worse yet, what are the odds of needing a permanent bag? Pretty sure I don't want to go through life with a permanent bag.
Lots of questions, lots of worries, and no end in sight.
