    I am so sorry you are having a tough time. I hope you have a wonderful support system to help you through all of this. I was just diagnosed with colon cancer this week after a routine colonoscopy. I have always been healthy and haven’t had any symptoms. I’ve recently lost my husband to complications from a stroke and stage 4 kidney disease. I find peace in staying close to God. Praying friends and family members are appreciated!
