Hang in there Andy. March 2nd is right around the corner.
Dr Hafez will take good care of you. God Bless him. He is a wonderful man.
I really made him work. I only had about half the intestien available to make my Neobladder out of. He said a younger or less experienced doctor would have said, "give him a bag, and sew him up." This may sound silly, but I really look forward to my follow up appointments. For some reason, I just like to see the person who gave me life. haha
I see him again March 19th for my nine month follow up, a month late. All the best, you are in great hands.
And yes, your cancer is going down, big time. Jim
This will not be a walk in the park as you probally know.
But it sure beats the alternative. Some days you will feel like you are going nowhere fast. Then all the sudden you will be like me, 10 months post op, feeling great, and wondering where time went.
p.s. If you would like to talk, PM me with your phone number.
