If they couldn't remove this polyp with the scope, we would have to start gearing up immediately for a more complicated, open surgery. Remember our holiday season last year? Needless to say, that's the last thing Gidget wants to deal with this year.
Not only was the doctor (Dr. Saunders) able to remove the polyp during the colonoscopy, but the whole procedure lasted all of 30 minutes. Nice! We collected Acey from Grandma's house and went out for a celebratory dinner on the way home.
Gidget has more lab work and an appointment with Dr. Whiting scheduled for Thursday. The goal for Thursday is to go over test results and get the plan from Dr. Whiting... what to expect next, where we go from here. Today was a banner day - we really couldn't have gotten any better news at this point!

ReplyDeleteThat is such great news!! I love her BRAVE ring!! That is so cool and I believe Gidget is being brave, because I think I know her well enough to know that. Keep sending the positive news. I continue praying every day for Gidget and her family. I miss her a lot. If she is up to it in December, we need to have a groupie lunch one weekend.

Congratulations on the colonoscopy results! "Brave" is indeed the word for Gidget. Do keep me posted because I want to be in on the big, final, successful conclusion of this harrowing story.

Excellent news and I am so happy that now you can relax a bit more Gidget and get on with enjoying the wonderful life that you have. From my perspective I think that having cancer has actually improved your life in so many ways. Weird but true.
ReplyDeleteJay, Gidget and Acey you have all been Brave and should all be wearing that special ring.
Love Merd
So happy and grateful to read this news! Continued prayers for joyful, happy, healthy holidays :)
