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.

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.

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!

Bob

Still praying Bob.
I have had the aforementioned procedures... indeed they are NOT fun! He has my sincerest sympathy.

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.

Praying for you all still.

He looked much better yesterday morning. They had him up several times during the night too walk laps around the halls. His main complaint was that the gas they fill you up with was in his shoulders causing pain. Not sure how many types of painkillers they are giving him?

Isn't it amazing how the medical field has advanced the surgical procedures in the last few years?
Bob, praying your son Robert will be back on track very soon and that you will continue to have all the needed strength to help him recover.

Continued thoughts and prayers. If your son is an active fellow he will need extra patience during his recovery.

Thanks for keeping us updated. I wish I had seriously drank more water while I was taking Chemo.I now have lower kidney functions and neuropathy in my feet and some in my hands.

But ,I've been cancer free for about nine years,I'm thankful.

Yesterday-Wednesday the doctor told him that he removed 9 inches of the colon. Eat a little more solid food and he may be able to come home last night. Around 11 am I decided to go too the Tennessee railroad museum. Had the parking valet bring the car. got around the other side of the parking garage and my cell rang. I am being discharged now. Good that I drove his Caddy ( sweet ride!) instead of her small Toyota. My DIL. said she was in the cafeteria with the gift card. I ordered the BBQ Pork not a sandwich. The man heaped so much on the plate I couldn't eat it all. Had him home 30 miles away by 2:15. So I'm cruising 80 in the carpool lane and a guy flys by on a small crotch rocket, and guns it for the off ramp. DIL asked how fast is he going? I said 100 or maybe 95. MYGosh!

Thanks for the tip about drinking lots of water. Doc said he will decide after the report comes back on the lymph nodes.
