Hi Gord,
Ken and Greg’s answers are very thorough (and entertaining!). I am glad you asked the hospital about the low residue diet. When I had my RC at St. Joe’s the dietician came in to give me detailed information about the diet. In case they forget to come by, ask a nurse to have the dietician come by. I can say without reservation that you are in great hands with Dr. Shayegan. He and his staff are knowledgeable and compassionate. If you are unsure of anything pre or post op, just ask. St. Joe’s does have someone in the surgical waiting room who can try to get updates for your wife during the surgery. Dr. Shayegan will come out and speak to her after the surgery if you ask him to. I wish you an uneventful surgery, a speedy recovery and of course, a long cancer-free ever after…..
