Didn't eat anything after 2pm Sunday and then had to come home and do the BCS. After not eating for almost a day needless to say I was real grumpy :(.  After I got admitted (more paperwork) they took me back to a room and I had to put on that lovely hospital gown - the good part was they brought warm blankets. Took me down to the exam room and got some more of the LA-LA land meds and I woke up 40 minutes later.

The admission counselor at Seton sure didn't help the issue any - she had absolutely zero personality - Maybe Seton should explain to these folks that they are the first people you come in contact with.  During this whole experience she is the only person that hasn't gone out of there way to be nice and courteous.

The staff in the surgery center were very nice and professional.

Thanks

The ultrasound found that it has not spread to the lymph nodes. It is ~5-6 cm in the rectum and the chemo and radiation should help shrink it. It has not spread outside the rectum an it appears to be no lymph nodes affected. This won't be known for sure until the pathologist looks at after the operation. T3 N0 CA

The red outline in the pics below is the actual tumor.
