    A thought
    Maybe we could get Nudgie to have the colon cancer survivor wings made up as temp tatoo.

    That way we could put one on our posterior everytime we need to have a new test or procedure done...might give everyone a laugh!

    butt tattoos
    Maybe we could get a tattoo on our forehead of our own butt.

    I tried to get Kim to write
    I tried to get Kim to write "Tumor Here" on my butt with an arrow pointing the way.
    "Tumor Here" would be a great name for a band. Anybody want to join?

    you can choose
    All the gross tests, or tests that makes us feel so violated you can ask for a male or female Dr to do the test. You can also ask them to put you out for the moment or wait until you have a scope of somekind done so you will be out. So say NO! Unless your out! Wait for the Sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy or when your OUT! And Eric all Butt puns are intended you should try the lace underwear I am sure everyone would step back! LOL at least for a moment. No thongs were wore in my experiment. I was always fully covered just laced. LOL Have a good day ya all!

    I had 4 enemas in the dr office to comfirm dx
    I felt like you when I was first DX. I'm very private when it comes to bathroom stuff. Took me a year to go to the bathroom with my husband in the house. I used to wait until he was out of the house, so this tells you how shy I was...Was is the key word. I've had so many butt checks, enemas, barium enemas (with my next door neighbors daughter in the room) and I am now shy free! I even laughed when I had to do the enemas lying on the floor at UCSF. I said God has a sense of humor! I have talked openly at my high school where I worked giving talks about colon cancer, and I'm very open on my blog. I find it's so important to take the inhibitions out of colon cancer. People need to be open and talk about it like they do about breast or prostrate cancer. It's just another part of the anatomy. So I like to hear butt jokes and tell people to get scoped!

    butt stuff
    I asked my gastro WHAT on earth possessed him, young, freshly into college, when he was faced with the various choices of specialties, he decided he wanted to look up people's BUTTs for a living! He chuckled and said the intestinal tract is really very clean. HELLO!!!!!! We all know and now regularly look at what comes out of it! ICK! :)

    Of course I also asked the surgeon who was putting in my port to give me a lift while he was in there :), nothing doing. The one doing the open resection wasn't willing to do a tummy tuck while he was in there either! GEESH! I'm thinking they're already there, what's a few more snips?!

    Maybe this will help
    I was diagnosed in 1998 at the age of 31. I was the type so modest that I didn't even share a changing room when I went clothes shopping with my best girl friends. Then I got colon cancer and everybody saw me in my most everything, bare nothing in all positions, for all tests etc... So I got even. I got to where I just wanted to crawl in that hole and die I would say just let the damn cancer get me, there not going to make me undress again so then I would laugh and hear myself say those ridiculous things even thou I meant them the moment they came out my mouth. So I went and got the prettiest, sexiest, lingerie I could find that made me feel GREAT!!My doctor was handsome, gorgeous and the most friendly yet medically well rounded professional I had ever met. It gave me a leg up, I got to wear getting undressed in that gown with that lacy lingerie would kind make the nurse back up, make the doctor blush, yet say she is charge of whats going on right now, without saying a word. My doctor thought it was funny, we were great friends, but he came to realize it was something I had to do for me so I would feel so intimidated by it all!!!! Try it!

    Your humor is very refreshing. It's good to see people enjoying the joy of laughter.

    Have a good one.

    try working in a prison with rectal cancer!!!
    Hey Twymer... dont sweat it... I have been working at the same prison for 23 years... I was diagnosed and thought ,,, 'GREAT , I cant even get a cool cancer, I have to get it in the BUTT at prison!" I found that dealing with the cards youve been dealt with a bit of humor goes a long way!
    I had gone to the cleveland clinic for a consultation and ended up with three enemas with a room full of people and had no idea i was going to have any proceedures done that day so the wife and I were eating pizza and hot wings, drinking beer the night before!!! talk about embarassing,, I felt uncomfortable as heck but made light of the situation..
    Im two weeks out of open surgery, home recovering and chemo starts in a few weeks... All my friends at work feel more at ease around me cuz im able to laugh and make BUTT jokes with them.
    It will be fine, smile, think of me when I have to go back to work at the "joint" after having my **** operated on!!! life is good!! Mark

    Peggy Poo Bag
    that was my name while i had the illeostomy until a few months ago...the indignities with coping included several leaks and blowouts in public places, poop dripping down clothes etc...lovely

    the Barium Enema was one of the most horrific procedures done to me, although the tube down the nose is a close 2nd.

    whenever i go to the doctors now and they say "lets run some tests" i tell them they can do anything but stick something in my ****. seriously.

    i dread the follow up colonoscopies (the prep) but at least i'll be sedated!
    when i go for my liver resection in a couple weeks, i will remind surgeon and nurses "no butt procedures!"

    overweight...
    I was overweight when I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Now at 60 lbs plus lighter (10 lbs of colon in 30 seconds - sweet!), I am all about weight reduction. I could stand to lose another 10-20 lbs. They found I had a 1.5-2 inch galstone during one of my mri procedures and said I would have to have it taken out. Thank goodness, I was afraid they had run out of things they COULD take out. Now I think I will be well on my way to my weight reduction goals, without lipo or dieting (unless you count not eating and throwing up during chemo dieting).

    hahahahahaha!
    10 lbs in 30 seconds! I've had all kinds of weight reduction through the removal of various body parts! I've had a full hysterectomy, omentectomy (hey, they say that's where the majority of our body fat is stored, so WOO HOOO!), my gall bladder, appendix, part of my colon and part of my small intestine (I think that's it!). Always a silver lining ...
