That is so exciting. I have been catching your posts sometimes saying chemo's working. Good to see you you will get surgery.

Yay. Looks like you are doing good!

Hi Sam's Wife - From your signature he did surgery, but did he have complete clinical response to the chemo radiation? Did the tumor disappear totally? Even though he did surgery and it seems there might be a possibly of spread based on your signature. I really hope its nothing. But its such a hard...

I would have preferred TEM? TME? Anything, rather than colostomy, because I knew my husband would be upset about it. He just wanted it out without a 2nd opinion. During pre surgery (talk) with dr & family, family asked something about the biopsy, after chemo/rad. To be able to watch & wait. ...

So when is the scope? I hope soon. I'm sure I have already told you, but I'll put it here too. I have a hemerhoid. They never suggested anything for it (banding). Maybe because mine wasnt bleeding a bunch? But one of my 2 polyps were precancerous. I'm glad you are getting checked. I think the age ne...

I was gonna say brat diet but when Betty mentioned 5fu, that is what happened with my husband. They reduced some & he got constipated. So they moved it back up. My husband was having cramps as soon as he ate & someone told me to watch out for folic acid. I think it was lee or painintheass. 5...

I'm sorry to see this too. You wouldn't think of a normal biopsy doing this. Scary stuff. Hopefully someone will come along soon. Hopefully this works, I'm sure hubands can get on here too :D It seems a few people are on this thread lately. I'm pretty sure you already know its there tho. http://colo...

I'm sorry to see this. I'm glad you were woke up tho.

Not sure about fever & chills. I think he had both. But he definatley had a yellowish drainage from his incision. It took a month after surgery but pain & drainage showed up. As soon as I saw it we got onto the drs. Didn't want to end up with a wound vac & a years worth of infection. Aft...

What about prunes. I've seen someone on here eat a dried one once a day or something. Maybe a prune & fiber would do it? Or every other day. Just taking a guess tho.

I had a family member get a flat polyp taken out. Here wasnt cancerous, but they said it needed to come out. They sent her to a specialist in that surgery in Wash. DC They ended up cutting it out the same way a colonoscopy is. Not sure if that was laparoscopic. That is just the way she worded it. I ...

I think it is her. It is on @ 8:20 Monday.

Yup. Title scared me too!!

2 years. I'm glad you are here to remind me. Oncologist had asked us if GI doc has called for colonoscopy yet? He hasn't, & I have already forgotten again !! I better hurry & set it up before I forget again :( Not sure if GI even wanted one in a year. I'm glad your hubby got his tho. I hope ...
