For 8 months mama had stomach pain, what appeared to be bloating,, and later constipation.. Doctor began prescribing for constipation,, no joy,, on the third day I said we are off to ER! Mama called her doctor and he immediately admitted her to Cedar City Regional Hospital ( May 4th ) for a CT scan,, results,,blocked intestine,,went to surgery in one hour and found colon full of Cancer .. Removed 3/4 of colon and took biopsies of surrounding area ( I received a call at 8PM with the question,,
You have two choices,, button her up and let God have her,,,,,, or we remove the colon and buy some time! ( Some decision!!) Let's go for time..
5 days in hospital care and came home,,,three days later more bloating, ( looked pregnant.) Went to the surgeons office for an examination,, He squeezed the incision and was squirted with FECES,,,using that method he removed more than a pint of her own feces and said " take her across the street to ER and I will meet you there... Opened her back up and found 6 inches of her small intestine had died and was deteriorating and leaking into her abdomen, filling it with POOP!
Cleaned the area,, took more biopsies of lymph nodes and liver .. Two days laying in hospital,, second night STROKE!! can't talk and seeing double,, heart pumping like a runaway outboard motor....Off to St. George Regional Hospital by ambulance (45 miles ) to a Neurosurgeon ( none in Cedar City.)
Two MRIs back to back shows right side brain clot,,, decision,, no surgery recommended will treat with chemicals.. ( By now I'm ready for a hospital myself,, what next??) Following day (19th May ) I arrive at St. George Hospital at 7AM to a woman who is talking as a 19 year old teen over the back fence,, alert,, responsive,,
no pain,, and wanting to go home.... Today AM,,, received a call from mama saying will be released in the morning to return,,,,,HOME,, not to another hospital!. I will be hauling freight south to St. George in the AM to bring my bride of 60 years HOME.!!..>>>Dan.. Pathology shows no spread to the lymph nodes and some surface on the liver,, will use targeted Chemo in future.(Post script) When mama was 30, she had a "complete hysterectomy" so we thought,,, all these years ( 49 )and we find they only took ONE Ovary and one fallopian tube on one side,, the remainder was also full of cancer and removed..>>>
