in Colorectal Cancer #1

6 years ago today I opened up a scan report and there was a mention that "a neoplastic lesion cannot be excluded."

They were right Laughing

This is the earliest date from which I can start counting my cancer.  Two weeks later another scan indicated it was cancer.  Four weeks later biopsy.  Six weeks my surgery.

    More than a warning shot

      You got told the same thing the rest of us did. You've got cancer! You beat it so that's a big plus. Congrats are in order. You're still here like the rest of us so that calls for celebration.  I'm having Crown Royal mixed with Pepsi, care for some?

    Congratulations

    5 years ago I knew something was wrong, I just didn't know what. It took another two months to find out. I'm still here, glad you are too!
