Hii everyone! Can’t believe it’s Halloween today 🎃
Surgery yesterday went relatively well, they were able to place an ileostomy bag, a G tube, and also take a whole bunch more biopsies & samples of the tumours!
The G tube really just serves to help drain out basically the same stuff the Ng tube was but just without the tube down my nose and throat (which is much appreciated be me 🙏🏻).

I am currently using an epidural for pain management which is working well but also making me quite anxious soo I am currently resting & trying to find that right amount of pain control without feeling too jittery haha 🙃 They are expecting to keep the epidural in for the next 4-5 days, depending how I am feeling and recovering and they are also hoping to get some more results in this time period too.

Not sure if I will introduce some clear fluids today but as of now I am still just receiving IV nutrition & fluids through my picc line! Can’t wait until I can go get some of that discount halloween candy 🤪🤤 here’s to hoping next week?

The plan is now to recover, rest up, start eating again and get strong enough to endure chemo in about a month.
