Not long to go...

Yesterday was another step forward to getting well. I met my surgeon and specialist nurse and they were so confident and made it clear just what the procedure would involve. A Right Hemi- colonectomy. Friday 8th July 2011 I go in. Another Friday!

 This will be the third defining Friday in as many weeks...

I am feeling naturally apprehensive and a bit anxious about the physical aspect of the operation. It is a big operation, however mentally I cannot wait to have this tumour removed.

I guess my next blog will be when I'm back home and how it all went. I'm trying to stay calm and thinking of the evening I stood on a beach in Dubai and watched this beautiful Sun set.

Im on an Enhanced Recovery Programme and will do everything to ensure I do!

Wish me luck and say a little prayer if you feel too...

    Wishing you lots of luck Joanne and looking forward to reading your update once you're up and about again.
    I know you're on the Enhanced Recovery programme...before I had my surgery the aim was to get up, and get out asap...do ONLY what you are comfortable with. If you need to stay longer, do so - it's not all about getting home asap, it's also got to be about getting well again.
    Hugs and although I don't 'do' prayers, I'll definitely be sending positive thoughts your way.
