Camella Black - Surgery
« on: Aug 30, 2010, 06:54 »
Hey gang I just wanted to let you know that I am my family are facing a hard couple of months... I have been sick for months now and found out last week I have colon polyps. The removed all but one and I met with the surgeon today and this is what we know:

1. A large percentage of the type of polyp (and where it is located) that I have contain cancer cells, so they treat it as cancer from the start.

2. They will be removing the majority of my ascending colon, along with the lymp nodes located nearby and all the blood vessels leading to this area and then they will be reconnecting my insides together (oh what fun).

3. I will be in hospital from 4 to 7 days and at home recovering 6 to 8 weeks.

4. There are chances of other things but I won't bore you with what if's or maybes.


Please be patient with us as we make this adjustment and lend your moral support when you can. I intend to be spending a good deal of time on here as I won't be able to do much else.

My surgery is on September 16th at 11:00 am, so if you have a second on that day please send out good thoughts and prayers ifyou believe in such. I am a huge believer in the power of prayer, karma and good thoughts and will take them all.

You will certainly have all of our good thoughts, best wishes, prayers, and maybe a Buddhist chant or two.

My sister recently (about two years ago) had what sounds like the same surgery, and she is about 100% and feeling fine. You can do the same. 90% of the success of this kind of thing is attitude. Keep yours positive and all will be well.

Good luck with your procedure. I'll throw a little Karma your way.. Maybe you can teach Henry how to play cribbage or poker while you are recovering. ; )>

I just wanted to let everyone know that Camella is out of surgery and is doing good. She is asleep now and snoring so the morphine must be working. She was in surgery for about 4 hours or so. Her Doctor said she will be ok. We won't know if it is cancer until the lab work is done next week. I will keep everyone updated as we get info. Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts. Henry

Camella wanted me to say thank you to everyone that remembered her in your prayers. She is doing better everyday. She still has a couple of months before she is back to normal, or as close to normal as she will ever be. Keep remembering her in your prayers. We can't thank everyone enough for all that you have done already. Stay safe and i will try to keep all informed of her progress.
