Mom Update
Mom finally had another check up with the surgeon yesterday. He said that she is doing good and healing good but that she needs to up her calories and do a 30 minute exercise daily to help get her weight back up. He even told her that she should go work at Johnny B's for a couple of hours a day. He explained that the pain she had been feeling was a part of the recovery, since she had a MAJOR surgery, basically 3 surgeries in one and it's only been 3 months everything is still healing. She is going to have to do chemo and radiation not for the colon tumor or the duodenum tumor but because of the 2 (out of 25) lymph nodes around the duodenum area that were positive, more of a precaution. I'm not sure what the timeline is for the chemo but I just want her to heal more before they start that process. She has her good days and bad days but she still continues to have a positive attitude!
