Our friends at the Colon Club are at it again with the 2010 Colondar. This from their website...

"The 2010 Colondar is another stunning take on fourteen colorectal cancer survivors all diagnosed under the stereotypical age of 50. As with every Colondar, the featured survivors proudly show off their surgical scars and share a snippet of their extraordinary personal stories, proving that this is a disease that can happen to anyone, at any age."

Or hey! go straight to the cute monthly models, men and women, here...

I don't recognize any of the models from our little group. Maybe next year! How about you Brooks? Jeff? I would audition myself but I'm over 50! Old farts need not apply! How about you Donna! You would look great on the colondar! :):):)

    Don't think they'd want me
    Besides the fact that most of the models are under 40 (even though they say the limit is 50), my surgeon did such a fantastic job, that you can't hardly see my incision anymore, just two months later! So I don't know if they'd even want me if I applied.

    But my chest is a mess. I have a big dip where the infected port came out, and the area is still bruised and discolored. And I'm still bruised and a little swollen with the incision showing well for the new port. I think I'm going to show more permanent damage there than my abdomen.

    I do admire all of those models for helping get the word out - especially about colon cancer before age 50.
