Colonoscopy

Hello.

Jim had his colonoscopy done this morning. He had two biopsies performed. We hope to get results back before Tuesday, but the doctor wasn't sure if that would happen.

They found two suspect polyp areas. Both were near the terminal ileum, which is located near the appendix (if Jim still had one). We were hoping they wouldn't find anything, but considering the PMP (appendix cancer) diagnosis, to have two suspect areas near where the appendix was is not too unexpected. So besides the greater and lesser omentums and gall bladder, it looks like he may have some of his colon removed. That was always a possibility, but I think with two suspect polyps, Dr Sardi will remove that part of the colon as a precaution.

Jim is home resting. And the doctor is supposed to fax the report to Baltimore. So as far as I know right now, we are still on for the MOAS on Tuesday. Jim's coming down to my house on Saturday since he has to be at St Agnes by 10am on Monday. And there is no way I'm letting him drive. : )
