Hi Everyone
As promised we have a further update. Hubby has finally got a date for his stoma reversal op which is the 16th October. Between Dr Schuh and Oliver Jones they have discussed the concerns of operation vs steroids and as hubby finishes steroids in 2 weeks time they think this should give enough time for things to settle down.
Although Dr Schuh did point out that no-one knew what if anything would happen in those two weeks, i.e. Bloods etc. So to keep an eye on things he will have 2 blood tests week before op and a transfusion top up if required. They have stated that they will be keeping a very close eye on him so that what he went through in August will not happen again.
Phone call yesterday from his Clnical Nurse who gave us his results. HB 101, Platelets 271 and WBC just out of the normal range, but of no concern. Once op is done and dusted (will be great to say goodbye to the Alien) Dr Schuh will see him on the 26th October to discuss further treatment.
Dermatology appt went well yesterday with the 'all clear' from the skin cancer but due to the 'melanoma in situ' he had on the back of his thigh which has also been given the 'all clear' they will see him again in January 2018...... so yesterday was a pretty good day all around really.......
Take care everyone and have a great weekend. I'll keep you informed as and when we have updates ....
