i believe in the power of prayer to,sent one up for you,i had a battle with CDEF of the colon,caused by antibiotics given to me to combat gangrene from a gall stone infection,long story short,they removed my colon,gall bladder,and 1/3rd of my pancreas,had to wear a bag for 6 months,then the DR. said come on in and let's do a colonoscopy and see if it's time to "hook your plumbing back up".So i went in,nurse said"change into this gown and leave your shoes on".I did,but i wear boots,so when i was called down to the room ,i showed up in my boots and a gown,Dr. and nurses laughed their ass off,guess i was pushing the envelope on attire...anyway i learned Marines are hard to kill(me)and some body parts you just don't need,it's been 2 years now, good luck and god bless.

I know this is nothing compared to some of the shit that our Sons and Friends are dealing with in Combat Zones around the World.

I'd really appreciate it. I'm a firm believer in the power of Prayer.

Re: Got some shitty news today...
My wife was diag. with stage 3 colon cancer. good surgen removed her asending colon and then she did 6mo chemo. colon chemo is one of the easier courses, she lost very little hair. early this year was her 5th year anaversery. her counts are still near nill.
keep up the good fight, prayer sent, god speed.
the test at 50 yo is for those with NO family history. they also say 5 years between clean scopings. also no history.
her grand father had it. hers arrived at 57 she insisted her brother get tested and saved him too 55 yo. her kids now have 3 in history and needed to start testing at 40. and then every other year.

Re: Got some shitty news today... UPDATED!
Glad to read your update. If the lymph labs come back and it hasn't metastasized your pretty much home free brother. Hoping for the best bro, the people I know who cought it at a reasonable time are 5 for 5 free and clear. I'm very willing to bet you will make it 6 for 6. The hospital at UAB where I work/teach/take class has some great success with colon cancer. I'm sure your prognosis will be good sir. All the luck in the world to you.

Re: Got some shitty news today...
Now that is good news indeed. Now to meet your responsibility to yourself, do go to several reputable sites, and research the hell out of this stuff. AdenoCA, is indeed garden variety but will still need some of your own attention.
He got that answer from your original biopsy. The next set of labs will look to see that the edges are free of cancer , that is, did he cut enough out.
this doesn't mean you are out of the woods, either. I don't mean to harsh your buzz, but you will have to educate yourself.
good luck. God Bless.

Update...
Went to my Surgical Consultation today with Dr. Steinbaum. Surgery is set for Tuesday, December 14th at noon at Fish Memorial hospital in Orange City Fl.. The surgery will be laparoscopic and involve only small incisions. He'll remove the affected area and re-attach the two ends. Then he'll remove the Lymph nodes in the area to biopsy them. The best case is that the cancer has not spread into my Lymphatic system and the removal of the cancer will be the end of it. If it has affected my Lymphatic system I will need Chemo-therapy. If it has affected any other organs, that's trouble! He called the cancer "Garden Variety" colon cancer that he has seen and removed a hundred times. It's called Adenocarcinoma. According to the Doc I'll be up and around the same day, and eating within a day or two. The Hospital stay will be 3 or 4 days but only because they need to wait for a bowel-movement before they can kick me outa' there. Once I'm out, if all went well, I'll be able to continue life... Uninterrupted! No special diet, no long term affects. That's what I'm Praying for!
Thanks again Everyone!!!
</div></div>
Tuesday will find you in my prayers once again. Keep the faith man, you are gonna beat this!!

Surgery is tomorrow around Noon. Yippee! My spirits are good and it's completely because of Prayer and support!!!
THANK YOU ALL!!!... Again!

I've got the iPod right next to the toilet. A TV would be tough to get in here and there's definitely no room for a comfy-chair! LOL!!!

No nurses yet... I'm still at home until tomorrow. The "prep" involves cleaning out my colon. The only company I have is my 100lb Yellow Lab and cat.

Oneshot, keep your head up man. We're all praying for you. Don't forget to have a little discussion with the big guy, he's really the one that will pull you through this.
Remember that he will not give you a cross that you cannot bare.
Good luck and keep us informed.

Re: Got some shitty news today...
My prayers are for you buddy...I have done the prep before and all and all it is not all that bad considering the alternative. I pray for your positive outcome for your ordeal. My Father-in-Law is a two timer with Cancer, Prostate and Throat, and has now been cancer free for the past 10 years. He definitely has a new perspective on life and he lives everyday with a new zest for life.

Re: Got some shitty news today... UPDATED!
Just saw this bro, I see you are going for surgery today. Be positive, keep a light heart, allow those that can to help you, and most of all beat this motherfucker! I made it through my own type of cancer, cancer ain't shit if don't give it any power. I've seen winners and losers on both sides of this fight. The ones that take it as it comes, live thier lives, and just take it as lifes experience, are the victors. Your mental attitude will take you through any thing it throws at you.
In my thoghts and prayers,
Chris

Re: Got some shitty news today...
Well, surgery happened yesterday. It was actually later than expected. The Doc had a lot of surgeries yesterday before mine. I feel like smashed ass but I'll recover! The surgery went well supposedly and the biopsy report should be ready tomorrow. Last night was rough but that was to be expected. I just took a walk around the floor. I feel so old walking the isles with my IV bags hangin' off that wheelie thing I have to push around. Oh well, ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
