My mom went to see her surgeon yesterday. Looks like she will be done with chemo at the beginning in February. She is going to have surgery at the beginning of March. The surgery will take place at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. They informed her that this surgery will require two incisions...and probably take some significant recovery time. The surgeon is estimating that it could take four hours. I'm a little scared for her...and for me...but I'm sure she will be fine. I think she'll be happy to have the bag gone...and her stoma closed up.
