Update... or "Hey it could be worse"

Just got back from the surgeons. There were two types of tumors it could have been:

Sarcoma - Nasty and would require radiation
GIST - Still nasty, but no radition

I got the GIST, YAY!!!!!!

So here's the scoop:

A) Fuck it, I'm going to Mexico. The main effects on me so far have been decreased appetite and fatigue. I have grown tired of not being hungry and sleeping on my couch. I am going to go be not hungry and sleep on the beach.

B) Bowel cleansing on January 5th!!! Mark your calendars!!! I have to consume nothing but clear liquids (or jello) and take a SHIT TON of weird drugs at precise intervals all day. The purpose? If they need to cut and resect some bowel said bowel must be poo free.

C) Surgery January 6th. It's gonna be a big scar and I'm gonna be down for a while. Hospital stay is expected to be a week.

So.... The good news is that I get to celebrate new years and xmas. The bad news is that January is going to suck ass.
