SOOOOOOOOOOO happy to se...

I just wanted to say I am 45 and I just had my 2nd one last friday...1st one was 3 years ago and they found a polyp. This time I was clean. I do moviprep (split) 1/2 the evening before and 1/2 4 hours before...it doesn't bother me too much I learned a lot from everyone here and was prepared with bab...

I am sorry u are at this point...I was there a few years ago with my dad...I don't post much these days but I do check out what's going on....Not a day goes by that I don't think about those last few days.Your mom is lucky to have you there with her and I know it is hard for u now but these moments ...

I guess I am a lurker these days too...my father will be gone 2 years on Sunday the 19th. I always check in to see how things are going, I don't have much to say these days, but I am thankful I had this group, most of you probably weren't around when I was active. There were some great people on her...

Wow jaynee... 18 yrs...nice to hear that....It's stories like that, that get people through the bad days...
this whole cancer crap just really pisses me off some days....
sometimes so much sadness I forget about the people who fight and win....

well as always you guys are able to talk me down...... I guess it is a combination between healthcare provider and us to work together so if there is an issue there is and correct and swift dx. I just hope more of the medical community jump on the bandwagon and do tests that are not the norm. such a...

I'm sorry to post this sad story, and It may not belong here, but you guys are the only people I know to turn to. My friends father, has been under a doctors care for normal, bloodwork etc...every three/4 months, she comes to me two weeks ago and says her dad's blood work, alt/ast has been off the p...

well a colonscopy will tell all....so I wouldn't stress out too much about it or you'll drive yourself crazy. I too was worried about the prep... I did movi prep. I had to drink 32 oz at like 5pm then because my scope was at 7:30 am I had to wake up and drink anothe 32 oz at like 3am. It was like 8o...

TheBurn yes...it is a breast cancer thing, but it is available to all chemo patients, my mother had uterine cancer, they never questioned the kind of cancer just that she was on chemo. Cleaning for a reason will come once a month, but no more than 4 times a year. If there is a cleaning place in your...

I got them for my mom when she was on chemo....if you can find a place that does it on your area,they were wonderful. they came once a month for 4 months, you get 4 cleanings a year while on chemo, my mom was on chemo for 6 months and it was a big help to her. it wasn't too hard, just some paperwork...

I know that feeling of "what should I do" after all the doctors, hospitals,stress and cargiving is done, it seems like the days go on forever. It's ok to not know what to do. You have to grieve and you need some peace and quiet right now to work things out in your head. You have a few long...

I think it's great! Here's to you enjoying your LOOONG life!

Well I hope John was able to eat his pizza..... In the end it's all about John, at some point you just have to throw your hands up and not worry about it. focus on you, him and Zane and that's it. I know it's easier said than done, but you are making yourself crazy trying to please his parents, and ...

HI, I am so glad you have John home where you want him and where he wants to be. The fact is you will always be the "bad guy" here...His parents aren't going to get mad at him, they are going to be mad at you whether it be his wishes or yours. I suggest, if I may, to continue doing what yo...

well it seems like everything is falling into place....maybe not the exact place you expected, but with John home it will help you and him to complete this journey.
I pray for you three and your extended family daily and hope you all find peace and enjoy what time there is.
god bless you all.
