I'm 49 years old and was diagnosed with colon cancer 4 1/2 years ago. I was very lucky...early detection. I had surgery, removed 12 inches of my colon and my cancer was contained in the colon only and did not penetrate the colon wall at all. So, no chemo or radiation. Last year I had a PET scan and everything was clear. No colon cancer history in my family.
I'm always interested in other colon cancer patients stories.
I wear a blue ribbon every day and a blue bracelet - 'colorectal cancer: preventable, treatable, beatable' My 22 year old daughter just got a small blue ribbon tattoo on her wrist...not happy at all about her getting the tattoo but was very touched by the thought.
May you continue to be well and know that you are in my prayers!
LOL Sorry, it is Friday, feel great and it is beautiful out!!
