Looks like I made it thru again. Sigmoidoscopy and bloods are all good. Next stop colonoscopy in June.

I don't really think it has sunk in yet. I am usually very positive and upbeat about these stupid-**** tests.( pun intended) But, this time around I felt very different about everything. Was bracing myself for the chemo trip again.

Well, not this time you piece of sh***t cancer!!Now leave my friends alone!!!!

    Thanks Kerry.

    I wish I could be there too.
    Unfortunately, I am not kicking the financial bootie too well!

    Love,

    Barb,
    Know that mood all too well! Just went through it myself. After more than 7 years I should have been so very positive, and instead I felt like you did....pessimistic. It takes a few days for the good news to sink in. Congratulations, it really is good...and we just have to learn how to live with it all.

    Barb - that's great news. And I do know that mood! It's wearing just having the tests and having to worry about them - I know that I often feel just "not bad" when I hear good results rather than "happy".

    Cancer is a piece of sh***t!

    Barb,

    How are you doing? I read you posts and you have every right to be what I call numb. You guys go throug so much waiting for test results and the emotional ups and downs. I just want you to know that You are never far from my mind as you helped my when I was at my lowest point. You have every right to have an off day!!!

    Hang in there and know that I am thinking about you!!

    Prayers, Hugs and everything else that goes with it!!

    Love Always!

    Barb, Congrats on the positive results!
    I'll have my first post-treatment colonoscopy in April, so I'll warm the scope for you. My doctor mentioned that my daughter, now 26, should think about scoping around 30. My reaction? I said, "That dumb cancer better not even TRY to get near her, I'll kick ITS butt!!!!!"
    Great news,

    Thanks Runner. You are such an inspiration.
    Looking forward to my seven year mark.

    And how are you doing?

    I think of you often, too.It means so much to have this wonderful family. Thanks again.

    George,

    Hmmm. I suppose you may be right. I am somewhat weird. But who isn't? Sure beats the h*ll out of being "one of the Jones".
