To remind everyone again: I have colon cancer; the docs thought they got it all in surgery oct 2003. Well, I went through radiation and chemotherapy. But, in may of 2004, I found out my cancer was back and there was no surgery to fix it. So, I started on a new chemo and went on with my life thinking I had a few more years left to enjoy my life.

(step into time machine. Land on september 16th.)

i am having extreme pain in my bladder and lower back, so I go to the doc. He admits me to the hospital immediately to run some tests. Well, the docs found fistula (a hole in intestines, bladder, etc that allows urine or stool to come out of the wrong "hole") sorry if this is tmi. So, I go to surgery to have a colostomy, which is when you poop from your abdomen into a bag. Sounds gross, I know. Well, in surgery, it was discovered that my cancer had just spread to far. I still have the poop bag, but I actually poop through my pee hole. Talk about pain!!

Ok, to sum up this gross post, I am going home fro the hospital after 3 weeks and hospice will come and help me. So, my time here on earth is very short now. But if anyone would my #, I will be at my parents' house for a couple of weeks, then I get to move into our house in the country!! I cannot wait. Pm me for the #, but I will be at the hospital til tomorrow. I gave chanda that #

thank you girls for all the advice and friendship. I will get someone to make the post when I am gone.

Thanks again
love,
megan
