Today's surgery consisted of a removal of a cancerous area. The removal included 12-15 inches of the small intestines. The surgeon got it all and didn't seem as if this was a major amount of small intestines removed. No colostomy bag or anything of that nature was needed.
There is still a lot to learn. They are going to compare the pathology to the previous cancer. Expecting to hear back from pathology tomorrow (Thursday) and Chuck may be released on Saturday. The doctor will come back at 8am in the morning to talk to Chuck. As of 5:45pm, Chuck was still in recovery and not moved to room just yet.
There are treatments that can be done and the doctors will be discussing their findings with the Radiation Oncologist who treated the cancer previously. Regardless, no treatment will be done in the next 4-6 weeks while healing from this surgery.
Still awaiting more information. The above are comments from the doctors and nothing is certain at the moment.
