Phew, finally got confirmation of the operation to reverse the ileostomy (ie, to push the intestine back inside, close off the hole in the abdominal wall, and do away with the frustrating colostomy bag).... it is gonna be on... ta dah... wait for it... Thursday 19th March! FINALLY!! And, in the same op, Husband will get the chemo-port implanted, and the dead flesh from the bed sore cut off - which will still require time to heal, but at least he can sleep on his side again and allow the bed sore to heal up completely! Of course, we still have to put up with the colostomy bag till the 19th, and endure the frustration of the base not sticking properly each time, but at least we have a timeline to go for.
How is Husband doing? He is still very tired - since food doesnt get into the large intestine, he is only getting half the nutrition he should be from the food he is eating. And, add in the lack of sleep due to the pain and discomfort caused by the bed sore, and I have one tired Husband on my hands. Yes, he IS getting better, slow and steady, and I know he will get better in leaps and bounds after the 2nd op, but, till then, patience, love, and small amounts of food on a very regular 2 hourly basis, all help to get him through this.
Given the situation, my wonderful boss has agreed that this Friday (13th Mar) will be my last day at work. So, this weekend sometime, we will be heading to KL. Tuesday we do the xray, taking pictures of the internal surgical joining of the colon, to make sure he is completely healed internally. Then..... the OPERATION.. That will really be cause for celebration!
I will have to be back in SG by 25th March, or maybe a day earlier, to settle income tax for both of us, renew car road tax, and, of course, because the movers are coming in on 26/27 Mar to pack up our stuff and ship it back to KL.
Sometime in April, after Husband has gained some strength, we will be moving into our new home at Mont'Kiara. It is a really nice complex, called Hijauan Kiara, and our unit has been fully renovated to our taste (and our designer/contractor, Athelea, and her partner, Deward, have done a WONDERFUL job!). Our stuff from SG will go straight to Hijauan Kiara, and we still have some of our stuff from PJ to move there too - eventually. Once we have got things moved, we will also move in there. We are looking forward to it too. Close enough to my parents and sister, and yet back in our own place again. It will be nice to finally feel like we are SETTLED.
So, to all our friends, give us time to settle in, and then come over to KL for a visit. You know how to get in touch with us (phone as well as email :-), and we look forward to having you as our guest in the not too distant future.
More updates after the 2nd op, and when we have more news on chemo. Till then, have a good life, and keep the prayers coming.

Of surgery and treatments
Well, saw the surgeon today. He removed the staples from the surgical wound, so Husband no longer looks like he has a 10 inch zipper running down his middle, through his navel. The wound is still scabbing and healing so it looks a bit of a mess, especially in the navel - but, having seen my parents bypass surgery wounds heal until they are close to being invisible, I know that this will heal well too.
To digress a little - We are NOT having fun with the colostomy bags. The whole lot is actually in two parts - the BASE PLATE, and the COLOSTOMY BAG itself. The BASE PLATE has a hole in the centre (think of a flat doughnut), and the stoma (ie, the protruding small intestine), fits through that hole in the base. The area surrounding the hole in the base plate is supposed to stick firmly to the skin of the abdomen so that nothing can leak out from under. The colostomy bag itself clips onto the top of the base plate. The base plate is supposed to stay in place for 5 - 7 days, while the bag is supposed to be changed every 2 - 3 days. So... why are we not having fun? Well, the base plate has a problem sticking to Husband! One half of the plate, nearest the surgical wound does NOT stick properly. That is probably because the abdomen is pulled in due to the surgical wound (think of the surgical wound as a valley with high ground on either side!) and so the abdomen on that side is not flat - so how can a FLAT base plate stick to a not flat surface. On the OTHER side, away from the wound, it sticks very well indeed... but the net result is that, so far, every time we have had to change both the base and the bag together. And, therefore, Husband has very tender and sore skin under the base plate. My poor babe!!!
Anyway, back to the surgeon. He is going to schedule the reverse ileostomy (ie, the op to push the small intestine back into place, and remove the need for the colostomy bag) for week of 16th March. Next week the surgeon will confirm the actual date of the 2nd operation, and we will have to be back in KL 2 days before that, so that an x-ray (a special type called a 'loopogram') can be taken of Husband's insides, to ensure that the colon has healed well. In the same operation the surgeon is going to implant a chemo-port under Husband's collar bone (for eventual chemotherapy), and he is also going to cut away the dead flesh from the bed sore on the bum. He will also be having a CT scan of lungs, liver and pelvic region to check if the cancer has spread or not. Fingers crossed and prayers going that it has NOT spread!!! Once all that is done, we can finally get around to starting chemotherapy.
Husband and I are heading back to SG this coming Friday. A very, very slow drive, with plenty of stops along the way to let Husband walk off the soreness from the bed sore, and to empty the colostomy bag as needed.
I am supposed to continue with work till 26th March, but with all this happening I feel terribly guilty that I am not doing justice to my job. This whole week I have taken as leave, but that leaves such a burden on my boss - who has been incredibly and totally supportive of all that we have been going through. BUT, it is not fair to my employer or to my client, so I have been checking with my truly wonderful boss as to what can be done about this, as neither of us wants to see an unhappy client. It is also ironic that I am in a job that I am genuinely enjoying, with people who are great to work with, and I have to leave. Ah well... life can be funny! At least I am happy that I have found the perfect person to replace me. In fact, given time, I am pretty sure she will do an even better job than me :-D
So, that's the updates for now. If anything 'interesting' happens between now and the date of the loopogram, I will update this blog again. If not, well, have a great life my friends, and please continue to pray for us.

The latest in the continuing saga...
.... we are back in KL - having arrived here, via Melaka, yesterday just after noon. Our very dear friend from Singapore (HP) came with us, to keep us company, cheer us up, and lend whatever assistance she could offer for the trip. It was great having her with us - because she DID help to cheer us up, a lot... and she was very helpful when it came to running small errands when I did not dare leave Husband alone. Thank you HP :-)
Husband is doing reasonably well - it has been just over 3 weeks since the op and he is recovering steadily, but he is in SUCH a lot of discomfort from the bed sore. The surgeon had prescribed this unusual dressing which comes impregnated with silver which is apparently a natural antiseptic. We change the dressing every couple of days (it can remain on the sore for a max of 7 days), and I can see, everytime I change the dressing, that the sore is getting better. Unfortunately it takes a LOT of time to get better, so the discomfort will be there for a while yet.
We have an appointment with the surgeon on Wednesday, when we hope to sort out several things - including the 2nd operation to push the small intestine back into place, close the hole in his abdomen where it was poking out, and therefore eliminating the need for the colostomy bag. What else do we need to sort out? Well, one thing I have not said in my previous two postings is that it has been confirmed that Husband has colon cancer. Currently identified as Stage 3, but we need to have a CT scan of the lungs, abdomen and pelvis done asap, to check if it has spread. If it has, then it is Stage 4. We are not letting this get us down. We will take each day as it comes, as a blessing, and we will do whatever is necessary to fight this. This is where your prayers will come in so helpful, as I strongly believe in the power of prayer.
Once the scan has been done, and the 2nd op done as well, Husband can start on chemotherapy. As part of the 2nd op the surgeon has recommended that Husband has a 'chemo-port' implanted, just under the skin, below the collar bone. The chemo-port is kinda like an IV. The part that the needle gets connected to is the part under the skin. From there a fine tube runs through the vena cava (the main vein leading to the heart), and it stops just short of the heart. This will make it easy to do the chemo, as it won't be necessary to look for a vein each time, and it will allow Husband to be completely mobile and go about life as usual during chemo, rather than being bed-bound in a hospital. It is also the best delivery mechanism as the chemo drugs get pumped straight from the heart to the whole body.
While we were in Melaka, we had the opportunity to speak to the oncologist, and he was able to tell us about the expected side effects. Would you believe that the biggest worries (hair loss and constant nausea) are NOT side effects of these drugs? In fact, the biggest side effect, and that is also generally something that slowly wears off over the months after completion of chemo, is numbness of the fingers. Husband is a bit worried that it might stop him from playing the guitar, the piano and the clarinet, but, to both of us, this side effect is worth it to have the treatment work.
Well my friends, now you know the whole story. Pray for us, keep us in your thoughts, especially for strength for Husband. Thank you for listening, and, till next time, may life continue to be good to you in these difficult times...

Latest updates...
...some interesting things one can learn, when maintaining a colostomy bag! For example, I have learnt that if you dont drink sufficient water, the contents of your small intestine look like brown sludge (YUCK!). I have also learnt that the digestive system seems to go into 'sleep' mode, just barely ticking over, after 10pm, and wakes up again at around 7am or a bit earlier. So, imagine eating at 9pm, and then your digestive system goes to sleep around 10pm, all that undigested food is sitting in your stomach, stewing, till the next morning. DOUBLE YUCK!
Of course, the fact that the system hibernates at 10pm makes that the BEST time to change the colostomy bag! Because if you try and change the bag anytime between 7am and 10pm, you remove the bag that is there, and start cleaning the stoma, and it is a NEVER-ENDING clean!! Because the digestive system is constantly pushing stuff along, and it comes constantly spurting out, necessitating constant wiping down with damp paper towels every couple of seconds to get the stoma clean, and then it is a rush to get the colostomy bag back in place in between one spurt and the next!! The end result - a stoma which has been traumatised by constant wiping down with damp kitchen towels every couple of seconds for several minutes! Whereas, if you change the bag at 10pm, when the system is quiet, the stoma is cleaned quickly, the new bag is in place fast. PHEW!!
I hope that was fascinating to you all too!
Other than that, went and got a "ripple" mattress for Husband to sleep on. Think of a PVC sheet the size of a single mattress, which has rows of air cells attached to it. The rows of air cells alternately inflate and deflate, which results in constantly changing pressure along the whole body, so there are no pressure points for further bed sores to develop, and it gives a chance for the existing bed sore to heal because there is less pressure on that part of the body. Luckily it is portable, so it is going to come back to KL with us too!
Husband is slowly recovering strength. Eating pretty much normal food, though we are avoiding oily stuff, hot stuff, foods with too much fibre, etc. He is supposed to eat lots of protein, but avoid the red meat for now.
This Friday afternoon we drive to Melaka (3 hour journey), spend the night with my brother and sis-in-law, then continue to KL on Saturday (2 hour journey).
So, that's it for now. Keep us in your prayers - Husband especially!!

Updates on Husband's health
Some of you may (or may not) know that Husband has been having stomach problems for several months now. Well, by Saturday 31st January 2009, stomach was completely bunged up. It was like a very very bad case of constipation. So, I kept bugging him to go to a doctor..... finally, on Tuesday 3rd Feb, when I was out for a company dinner, he walked to the doc round the corner. The doc poked his tum a bit then prescribed 2 different constipation pills and told him he would be fine in 48 hours and sent him home. We had planned to drive to KL on Friday early morning, but I got home early on Thursday from work so we decided to head to KL straight away. On Friday morning I was working from home in KL, but in the afternoon I dragged him to my doctor in KL cos his stomach was still completely blocked. So the doc also poked and prodded his tummy, and then told us straight out: "There is nothing I can do for you, stop taking those constipation pills, and I will send you straight to the gastroenterologist."
We told her we were returning to SG on Monday, so she said she would make an appointment for us on Sat morning. While we were sitting and waiting in her waiting room for the reference letter, she called us back in and said she didnt want to wait for Sat, she was sending us NOW. So we went straight to the hospital (a private one called Pantai Medical Centre in KL), and saw the gastro. He poked and prodded, then got his nurses to arrange for a CT scan the first thing on Sat - and despite being full up, they were able to squeeze us in if we got there first thing in the morning. So, we got there 8.15am on Sat. At 8.30am they made Husband drink 2 glasses of orange juice with dye in it. Then at 10am they took him into the scan room, pumped a lot of dye up him, and also injected another round of dye via the vein in his hand. They then did the scan (only took about 10 minutes) and they were done. At 12.20 we went back to pick up the scan results, and went straight to the gastro. He went through the scans, and told us that:
1) There was a growth in the colon which was 100% obstructing the colon - which explained why Husband was feeling completely blocked!
2) He had to have an operation IMMEDIATELY - otherwise there was a risk of the colon bursting.
So, he called the colorectal surgeon, who told him to get Husband admitted immediately... and he would come and see us in the afternoon. We did all the relevant things to get Husband checked into a private room, then at 4pm the surgeon came by. He walked us through the CT Scans, showed us exactly where the blockage was, explained exactly what he was going to do, explained that Husband would likely have to have a temporary colostomy bag while the colon healed, etc, etc, etc. When we asked WHEN he could do the surgery he said that he could do it the very next day (Sunday)... so, that was that.
Sunday, Husband went into surgery at 11am for prepping. Surgery itself started around 12.30 - the first one hour was for them to remove his appendix, then push water through his colon to flush out all the built up matter. After that the surgery proper was done, and that took just over 3 hours. At around 4.45pm the surgeon came out to see me, and he explained the whole thing. Showed me what was cut out from Husband. He said Husband was stable all the way through the op. The blockage in the colon was very close to the ureter so he had to take a lot of care NOT to touch that! He had to ensure he got all the neighbouring nodes and the relevant blood vessels serving the part of the colon he was excising. In addition, the growth in the colon had also gone through the colon wall and attached to the abdominal wall, so he had to make sure he excised it with care. The rejoining of the two ends of the colon had to be done with care as well, as one side was expanded due to the build up of matter while the other side was really narrow - so he had to do a double purse string on the swollen end, and attach it to the other side with staples. As Husband heals the colon will shrink back down to its normal size and the join should be seamless.
So, what next? Once the main surgery has healed, estimated time is another 2 to 4 weeks from now, they will remove the colostomy bag and push the small intestine back into place.
So, right now we are still in KL, with Husband slowly recovering from the surgery. Unfortunately to add to his discomfort he has a bed sore on his bum - which happened because they had a plastic sheet under him for 2 days in ICU, and he is allergic to plastic!!! Though the sore is improving daily, it makes it very difficult for him to get any sleep, as he has to sleep on his back due to the surgery and the colostomy bag. The surgery wound is 10 INCHES long, running down his stomach and through his navel, like a zipper - the picture being even more vivid when you realise that the wound is not joined by sutures but by a whole series of titanium staples!!
This Sat we are seeing the surgeon in the morning, then, if Husband is up to it, we are driving to Melaka in the afternoon on Sat, spending the night with my brother (A) and sis-in-law (P) in Melaka, and then continuing our journey to SG on Sunday - mostly because I dont think Husband could handle a 4 - 5 hour car journey at one shot!
I will keep this updated, when I can... but, in the meantime, your prayers and your best wishes will be very valued by both of us.
