I posted awhile ago that DH had a Studor Pouch made from how intestine
after losing his bladder to Cancer. He is recovering and possibly the
tubes will come out on Friday. Dr. feels no Chemo is necessary as
lymph nodes show no more Cancer. The next hurdle is whether the pouch
will work - he's going Friday to have dye injected to see if the pouch
leaks and if it's O.K. he will have the catheter and kidney stint
removed. Just wanted to let you know how he's doing. Thanks, J, for
your response. Appreciate your support!

Well wishes heading your way, Donna.
We don't usually get the "blow by blow" detailshere.
So it will be very helpful/informative to me and probably to other readers
too.
And it will be archives in this newsgroup's archives, for others to search
and learn from (when they come this way, in the future)
So keep it up. I'll be reading and caring.
Hugs
J
