in Colorectal Cancer #1

I was feeling great and crashed my mountain bike. Busted up my lip and nose. Its not looking good for treatment tomorrow. I am heartbroken about giving my wife more to worry about.

    Good news. My nose is not

    Good news. My nose is not broken but my jawbone directly below my nose is fractured and i had 4 stitches on my upper lip. The good news is they did a CT of my head and neck and there was no sign of cancer.

    heck of a way to skip chemo!

    Glad to hear you're feeling good enough to be doing something fun!  Wish you didn't get hurt and very glad you will be okay, once the jaw heals that is.

    Sounds like a piece of cake

    Sounds like a piece of cake compared to the cancer B.S. Although the jaw thing sounds painful. I've been over the bars a few times myself. Get well.

    It's inspiring to me that in the midst of everything else,you're still going for it hard enough to beat yourself up good! I was still rock climbing hard during treatments,it was when I felt best mentally and physically. F#%*cancer!

    ....but you make me laugh.   So sorry you got hurt, but doesn't it make you feel "normal".    Hang in there.   I am happy for you that the scan showed no cancer!   Hope your wife is doing well And not too worried.

    OK...the mother instinct says to tell you...Slow down...watch where you are going...don't take chances.

    The survivor instinct says to tell you...Good for you for continuing to live life to the fullest...just be more careful!

    Hope you recover from this spill quickly.

    The swelling on my nose has

    The swelling on my nose has gone down some but my mouth still looks real bad.

    The funny thing is i have slowed down since my last recurrence. It was just a momentary lapse of judgement like any accident.

    I am very thankful though to have my teeth and not sustain a neck injury or concussion. The first thing i did was check my teeth. Then i walked a mile back to my truck pushing my bike. I knew i looked really bad and didnt want to look at my self until i got to the hospital but i figured i better make sure my eyes werent dialated before i drive which they werent.

    It made me think twice about things but i have to keep living lifebto its fullest and laugh in the face of cancer.

    I might go kayaking today. Water is much softer on the face LOL.

    Happy

    I am glad to hear that you started on your treatments in spite of beating yourself up. 

    I guess you literally 'picked yourself up' this time. You'll do the same with this set of treatments too, pick yourself up and carry on. 

    Good luck.
