Some Positive News

Last Friday I had my quarterly ct scan, and the results came back negative, as far as detecting cancer.  And today I had my first colonoscopy since my cancer diagnosis almost two years ago.  Thankfully, the doctor only had to remove one polyp and it doesn’t appear to be cancerous.  I’ll get the results next week.

Thanks again for the thoughts and prayers everyone!  I really appreciate it!

Some Sad News

My Dad died yesterday of lung cancer, while at home about 5:30 in the morning.  We had spent Friday with him and he was quite lucid most of the time, but you could see he was having some difficult times as well.  He was diagnosed about two months, so he didn’t suffer too long, and actually told us Friday he wasn’t have much pain at all.  Thank God.  Please say a prayer for Mom.

As for me, I’m getting stronger and gaining weight.  I’m still having rectal pain, but I have to live with it and learn how to manage it as best I can.  I have my quarterly CT scan this month to see if the cancer has spread, so wish me luck!
