scan results and another surgical review


Last week we had another surgical review appointment up at GOS. All going well with surgery recovery as we knew and we saw the Prof himself who reviewed the MRI and agreed that it showed areas of abnormality most likely relating to the original mass but as it is at the base of the mesentery it would not be possible/beneficial to remove it. He felt going back to gastroenterology was the way forward with Josh's chronic diarrhea. He confirmed that the cathetar use during the operation and after could cause the toiletting problems he is having.
We are lucky to have a great paediatrician and community nurse and they managed to get our ultra sound etc results from St Helier to us before the review so we could discuss them. The nurse dropped the hard copy off on her way home and our paed called us that eve at home! The scan showed the baldder not voiding totally, and the other test showed a twitchy muscle, described as a dysfunctional bladder when combined! We are awaiting their plan....
