She said that she doesn't want to stay in hospital for 5 days after biopsy. What a spoiled brat, it's like she still can't comprehend what pelvic exenteration looks like and that it will be much much worse than the biopsy.

Listening to the car part again, Matt made the comment 'the colon thing wasn't there last time, remove the whole colon is an extra part..." So I'm not sure what that means, a new tumor or just more removal in the actual surgery now.
I really don't think she has a choice, at least if she wants to live.
She said in the comments "I'm hoping beginning or mid of December"
And a colostomy.. Surely a very serious, dangerous surgery that will bring many drastic changes in her life. If she survives it hopefully it will give her years of life. Worst case senario is metastases appearing after the surgery since there is lymph involvement.
she has mentioned quality of life before now and she’s silly enough to believe she’d be better off not living with all the differences the surgery will bring..
This is a great detailed article about this surgery and the preparation process for the patients. Preparation starts 30 days before surgery...

Your caregiver plays an important role in your care. Before your surgery, you and your caregiver will learn about your surgery from your healthcare providers. After your surgery, your caregiver will take you home when you’re discharged from the hospital. They’ll also help you care for yourself at home.
I wonder who it will be, Amma or Matt?

No, I didn't mean the doctors are dimwits at all. TT, Matt, & sister is who I meant.
Only on this site do people feel the need to apologize for giving a tit.
It’s tragic. And the younger people are the more aggressive the cancer. My mum is a retired oncology nurse. She specialised in chemo but did radio too
What I heard was that the extent of the surgery now is even more complex. Some mention of taking something from her leg etc. I mean this is major. It got even more complicated with "wait and watch". It was a gamble and she lost.
Not Matt, he works... it will be poor Amma to take care of the princessThis is a great detailed article about this surgery and the preparation process for the patients. Preparation starts 30 days before surgery...

Yes in that video Tiffany said her doctor gave her 3 options. 1. Surgery 2. Wait and see 3. She did not mention what was the third option. That left me wondering.
Yes. Look at her last week after a non biopsy
sure hope it is not Matt. It will be Amma. That is interesting 30 days to prepare...timeline about right but she has the additional challenge with the weight issues. I am sure they have given her this literature.This is a great detailed article about this surgery and the preparation process for the patients. Preparation starts 30 days before surgery...

Sounds like it. At least surgery is still an option.
Took a bit of a step away from this thread whilst Tiff was waiting results because I was fed up with her mundane day to day content.
The results weren't surprising but I am relieved the op is still an option - I wasn't sure it was going to be after such a long period of time without treatment.
Intrigued about the next part of her journey and wondering when things will take place, I saw a comment here that Tiff had commented hoping for early Dec? That's only three weeks away and she's expecting to schedule a biopsy, receive results, schedule surgery and to have put on weight by then?
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was back end of Dec/Jan!
Would she be put back on Chemo if this 6-8 week period saw the tumour grow?

I can’t believe age 29/30 her mum stayed in hospital with her when she had cdif. I was in with hydrocephalus and need to have my brain surgery next month and am not taking my mum. Am an adult!
Looks like Nat Woodward also had some muscle removed.
