Re: my son,
Praying for your son and your family. One of my younger sisters had a significant part of her colon removed decades ago and remains a high energy person to this day.
[Perhaps this can encourage any of our members to consult with their doctors as to the advisability of scheduling colonoscopies if they have not yet done so.]

Re: my son,
If you are over fifty years of age, you need a Gastroenterologist as one of your physicians and a baseline colonoscopy and follow-up studies done as recommended.
Same for esophagoscopy.
Painless procedures these days. Versed is a wonderful drug.

Re: my son,
my son texted me this morning that he had a fever of 100+ yesterday. Catt scan Friday shows the mass to be four inches and the lymph nodes are inflamed. I do not know much about Lymph nodes. I do not know if the fever is because of that. Thanks to every one for your prayers and comments. Bob
Re: my son,
Bob, you and your family are in my daily thoughts and prayers, Godspeed. Tom

Re: my son,
son Robert called after he seen the surgeon. Told him the surgery will be done laproscopically, and robotic-ally. will be off work for a month. will be early April. Last night he texted that he worked on a 1970's Jaguar XJS convertible. My kind of ride. Now that he has new information he is calling and scheduling customers. Bob

Re: my son,
just an update, after texting him last night. He say's that for a week or so during the night he wakes up completely soaked. Did not say if it happens during the day time. The way I read it the body is fighting the cancer? Yesterday he spent four hours doing a detail job on a BMW M class convertible. nice pictures and a great car. $13,800 will buy it. wish I had it.

Re: my son,
Mr. Watch your assessment is very likely i.e. sweating can be indicative of the body fighting cancer. Also, certain cancer medications can provoke sweating. In any event he needs to keep his doctor informed. No doubt he is doing this.

Re: my son,
Thank you everyone. He said that today was the worst day of his life. I recon so. If your squeamish pass on. This morning after much prep he had a Barium enema XRAY. I'll spare you of his description but the XRAY is on the end of the scope. The Tech. doing it could not get more than 3 inches. Lot's of blood work and long talk to the anesthesiologist nurse. He had a very bad reaction after his knee surgery. But still has work lined up for this week. one is a 1950's Jaguar after working on a vintage Porsche last Friday. Plus a ceramic coat job on a 2017 Chevy Equinox. Thank you spell check!

Re: my son,
My sons cancer surgery is scheduled for 1 pm. today. We are staying at his house and I will be driving his wife each day as she does not drive in city traffic. It is a good thing that they have two cars because I am having some trouble with my poor old Honda. I think the battery is not good enough now too always turn it over without a jump. Went to Walmart yesterday and of course they lady looked up and sold me the wrong one. Posts on the wrong side so cables are not long enough. Put it and my trade in in her car and by the time I drove to town the auto department was closed. Rob is still up upbeat about getting right back to work but I think that the chemo will probably knock him for a loop after talking to a friend that is having it.
