Dear Everyone,

I can never thank you enough for all your prayers. I had my colonoscopy this mornig-After being so sick for the past 3 months.
No Cancer in the colon,No polyps. I have sever Diverticulotis. Controled completely by diet.Tho Family history I must repeat every three years. Joke for my family and kids Besides chrohns and colon canacer now they must add Diverticulitis to the long list of intestianal problems. I feel all the prayers here and that my 6 brothers and sisters sent my way helped me to handle what eveer was going to happen today. What a great end to a horrible year. I have my life back. I will continue to check in every now and again. As you all have been so great in my dealing with the unknown.
God Bless
And Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Karen

    Dear Karen,

    This is the best news--well kinda. You still have to deal with the diverticulitis, but that's controllable and you will take care of yourself, I know! Our prayers are still with you in dealing with it. Don't abandon us completely! Let us know how you are doing.

    Hugs,

    Yeehaw!
    SOOO happy for you that it isn't cancer! Your diagnosis is what I was thinking I likely had prior to getting my cancer diagnosis. It's definitely something to deal with, but now you can move forward in treating it and not worrying about having cancer.
    GOD BLESS YOU- what a relief for the New Year!

    Lisa,

    Thank you. I too think sometimes these days that is it the start-But now am on a plan of every 3 years for checkups(colonoscopys) due to family history.Funny tho-all I can do to deal with it is change my diet-I get to eat more-Just healthy-I truly belief all the prayers from all of you guys and family and friends helped more than anything else. When I called my Mom with news she was actually in church(on a monday) As she said her prayers were ansered that day. I will still be around to. And always keep everyone in my prayers.
