Oncologist did a rectal
Oncologist did a rectal exam, found nothing, no blood. Which is nice, but means nothing. I had a colonoscopy set for the 8th of Oct, but had to postpone due to work, so it is like the 22nd. With clear scans and a stable CEA, oncologist doesn't think this is cancer related, but more like surgery related. Like adhesions. I am still pretty sore, bathroom urgency and pretty bad gas. Still haven't figured out how to function well as a teacher with that issue. -

Thinking of you and sending prayers for the "all clear". As a fellow teacher though retired, I remember reading one of your posts when you made it to 2 years and you said you could now start thinking of "making It." I just made it to 2 Years and started to feel "Maybe OK" but had a abnormal annual mammogram so I will be doing the testing at Mayo at Rochester on Thursday. Not really wanting to try cisplaten so praying. Prayers for you.
