Hi to all who have replied. I would love
to have updates on checkups, family
members etc. You have spoken about.
Mae, hope to hear from you soon.
Recently I have had a few symptoms that
have scared me a bit, the air bubble
feeling is back in my spine, pain in left
side again at times, no blood or (terrible
can't stand it) stomach pain. Cat scans
and ultra sounds good in dec. But going
to schedule a new colonoscopy. So far in
the past I have been clear and tumor
marker blood tests have in past been
normal. Doc says it may be from scar
tissue.
One thing I know as a cancer survivor, the
(fear) is always there.
Always remember , you know how you feel,
do not assume you are nuts, as I said
before, if you are not happy with your
Dr. Find one that you trust.

There is no such thing as cancer odor.
Only a doctor can diagnose cancer.

I am doing well, thanks for the pms, and
well wishes, and glad to hear from a
couple of you and so glad all is going
well. Most of all, Happy anniversary to
our 3year survivor, not sure you want your
name mentioned but you know who you are
and congrats!!!I am not online often
anymore, medication makes me soooo tired,
and sometimes I don't feel the greatest,
but all is going great. Everything seems
to be going as best as can be. I feel very
fortunate.
As for my reason here, I went through so
much for so long before diagnosed with
colon cancer and have only wanted to let
people know what i went through as to help
others, by no means have I ever meant to
diagnose, my symptoms are owned by me,
yours are owned by you. I just want each
and every person who fears or has ANY
symptoms and suspicions to seek a Drs
medical attention ASAP, if you are not
satisfied, get a 2nd, 3rd however many it
takes opinions till you know why you feel
the way you do. The fear of the unknown is
unnecessary , it stops many from seeing
the Dr, please!!! don't let it stop you.
Hopefully yours will be a simple condition
easily treated and most of all that fear
and imagination of the unknown will be
gone.
My recent colonoscopy was again good
results, at times I have symptoms that
scare me, but I guess that is probably
normal, and a good reason for me to keep
getting my followups as the Dr says. In
October I will be colon cancer free for
5yrs, and in Nov, 1yr breast cancer
survivor, I feel so fortunate and am so
glad to hear that one of you is soon to
hit the 3 year mark... Happy anniversary
