Now that the treatment is over, there are fewer appointments scheduled – but the next round looks like this:
- Thursday Oct. 22 – Office visit with Dr. Fekrazad (blood work and follow-up on Xeloda)
- Wednesday Oct. 28 – Pre-surgery office visit with Dr. Rajput
- No date certain – Flexible Sigmoidoscopy (w/ Dr. Rajput, to assess my response to the chemo and radiation treatments)
- Tuesday Nov. 24 – Colorectal Surgery @ UNM Hospital in Albuquerque
In addition to these appointments, I am still trying to find an Ostomy Nurse to meet with in advance of surgery. I’m told they can be invaluable in preparing you for dealing with a colostomy (the next big hurdle…).
