Just to clarify, I believe you're confusing the spelling of two different products. There's Golyetly and Halflyetly. I've never had the former, though I hear it's kind of rough. I've had both and neither one is fun. They're both the same, just one is half less. I once told a nurse who was schedulin...

Good luck Bill.

Kick cancer's ass!

I don't know if it's "time" that plays on my mind, but rather just the reality of having been diagnosed with cancer of any kind. I was DX'd stage one and surgically cured 4 years ago, but have had several "scares" since then. Every little twinge gets me to stop and wonder "H...

The gorilla has left the building!!!!

CT scan was clear, polyp taken during colonoscopy was clear. I can now tell my wife, and everyone else, that my doctor says I am normal!!!!

Yay for me. I'm still NED!!!!

I'm now thinking that a lot of my discomfort over the past few days, was not only gas and where the surgeon removed the polyp, but also a rather nasty case of constipation. I feel quite a bit better now that things have "started moving" again. I am on bentyl, which has helped some. What co...

No, the gorilla didn't get any cake. But, I opened my lunch box tonight and there's a banana in it. Weird, huh? I spent all day in bed, still feel run down and slightly wurpy. Got up just in time to go to work. The work isn't hard, but it's very active. Over the past several months, I've found that ...

I've been "NED" since my resection August 21st, 2006, but have had several "scares" since. This one has my attention more than any other though. I'm halfway through my night at work. I think I'll make it the rest of the way, but I'm not going to overdue it, if I start feeling wor...

Having the colonoscopy is old hat for me. But right now, I'm experiencing much more discomfort than I ever have before. Any idea what's up? I'm sore enough that I may leave work early tonight.

Yesterday, January 25th, was my birthday. To celebrate, I had a colonoscopy. (Do I know how to celebrate, or what?) This, combined with the CT scan(It showed everything was normal) I had a couple of weeks ago, are the latest attempts to find the source of the abdominal pain I've been having for the ...

You would LOVE Bowser and Blue then. Check out the colorectal surgeon song. It's hilarious!

Woo Hoo! Great news NED!

From my blog, http://www.meissnershockeyblog.blogspot.com : Today, August 21st, 2009, is the third anniversary of my surgical cure from stage one colon cancer. My story: In the fall of 2005, I started feeling "oogily." Repeated doctor visits, test, hospital trips, yielded nothing more than...

I'm 54, but you can most certainly count me OUT of this study!!!!

I live in Florida now, but had my tonsils and appendix out on "Pill Hill."

I feel the same way. Too bad we live on opposite sides of the state. (We live in Palm Harbor.) Our library has Mother Goose rhymes every Tuesday. I'm not sure who has more fun, me or Jimmy! You would enjoy it.

Thanks jmarie. My situation is different from most people here, in that my cancer was caught very early and I was cured surgically, with no subsquent chemo or any such treatment that so many here have had to endure. However, most days I still think about cancer, what it's done to my family and what ...
