Hi all,
I wanted to introduce myself as I have just come across this wonderful site and decided to add it to my long list of group/education/etc sites.
I am 32 years old. I live in Lexington, KY, and have stage 4 colon cancer. I was diagnosed in April. I had a resection of my colon (about a foot removed) but the disease metastisized to my liver and possibly my lungs.
I had complications from my first surgery and had another one 1 week after the first for a small bowel obstruction. I will be having a liver resection on Dec 21 in Pittsburgh. From there, most likely 5 or 6 more rounds on top of the 10 I have already had. Surgery for the lung is possible depending on whether or not it is deemed to be cancer.
Anyway, I wanted to give a quick hello and join the club so to speak. I loved the calendar and have applied for an application for the 2008 version.
I look forward to getting to know each of you a little bit better.
