It was a beautiful day today. I felt pretty good going to the doctor's. I hadn't eaten since 3 pm the day before so there wasn't anything to bother my tumor or make me feel like I had to go. I had her give me all the blood tests she could so I could have the reports for my own curiosity. She ordered a CEA test also, which is an indicator that the cancer might be spreading. My blood pressure was 114 over 68 so that was good. I couldn't pee in a cup so had to bring it home. I'll drop that off another day. Dr. Aranda thinks it's a good idea to have the colostomy bag also. I'll let her know when I hear back from Dr. DelPino. I hope he will do it.
After I left the doctor's office I went to Walmart to get some groceries and a few other items. I finally got home and got something to eat around 3 pm. So that was 24 hours that I fasted and I didn't even feel hungry. But as soon as I eat I start feeling pressure in my rectum. I couldn't go of course. Just blood comes out. So now I will be uncomfortable all night. I took three Ducolax at 8:30 pm and hopefully they will work sometime tomorrow. But it's starting to get to the point where they don't even work very good. That's why I really want this colostomy now. I can't deal with this any more. Rather empty a bag than have pain and aching all the time in my rectum. Just hope the cancer hasn't spread so far that he can't do it. But I'm hoping for the best.
Guess I'll go to bed shortly. I'm tired. Take care everyone.
