I have been putting it off thinking it would go away,but it has not yet. So on the 16th I will set up my 4th surgeryand find out about. Which will have to be done also. I thank all of you for your support and I enjoy talking with people who know what I am going through.

Many Hugs and Prayers for All

    details, please!
    what will you be going in for surgery for? And where? You are in Shelby, right? Are you going to Baptist? I think you said before who your doctor is, but i can't remember! Good luck with your consultation appointment, I get the feeling from your post you are past ready to do something!

    I have a 2 cm stump that was left when I had my permanent ileostomy. I will be seeing Dr. Waters at Baptist. They know so much more then they do around Shelby. I will also see Dr. Howerton when I go he will be the 1 to remove polyps from now on. The Drs. here need to go back to school and learn more about what colorectal cancer is. Thanks for talking with me .

    Many Hugs and Prayers for All

    thank you for the info
    and now that I read it, I do remember seeing another post discussing this issue. I am sure Dr. Waters will take good care of you, and I am very sorry to hear you aren't happy with your local doctors. I don't know what I would do without the support of my local onc team! I will be thinking of you on Thursday.

    Thank you would you mind if I added you as one of my friends? I would like to meet people to talk with. I have been going through this and I have no idea what I am doing now.

    Many Hugs and Prayers

    Stump?
    I know i'm hitch-hiking on a topic, but what the heck is a stump? Did they screw up your surgery?

    Many hugs,
