      Just thought I would post that my surgery was a success last Thursday at Sloan Kettering. Had a partial resection of my small bowel, only 1 lesion was found. The recovery has been pretty remarkable and while the surgery was not done laproscopically, I have made significant strides each day. Spent 3 nights in the hospital there and am now back home in full recovery mode. I suppose I can say NED again, but with this being my 5th surgery, I'm a bit hesitant to label myself that. Anyway, needless to say, its a huge relief to get it over with and to be back on the mend again.

      Thanks to all the docs and nurses at Sloan.

          Very happy for you Wetter, now just let your body do the healing, you will be amazed at how strong a human can bounce back from this sort of thing.

                          Great to hear that you are home in the fast recovery mode. Amazing how we look at ourselves now versus pre-Mel ! Keep on going.
