Went in for surgery for a cyst on my bladder, and they found colon cancer growing on the outside of the colon. Got to have two surgeries at the same time! Stage 3, one node involved.

Thanks everyone for the kind words of encouragement. BB - I do follow your results as well. I don't know how we've hung on so long when so many of our friends have passed. No words, no explanations. I'm not pain free and I'm not cancer free but I'm here and still have enough quality of life to want to be here - especially for my kids. Living one day at a time from scan to scan.
