I have cancer.
They sent me right from the colo to get a CAT scan to see if it has metastasized. I'll know more on that tomorrow or the next day.
I will need surgery to remove the tumor. I meet with surgeon on Friday.
The Dr. said they know a lot about colon cancer and how to beat it.
I messaged with Turshnurse and she said kinda the same thing- Told me that the chemo for this kind of cancer doesn't cause a lot of nausea and hair loss etc. Maybe they will get it all with the surgery. Maybe I'll need more.
When you're going through hell, keep going. Right?
Diabetes or not, I'm probably going to have a doughnut tonight. (I don't drink....) :-)
Here's to hope!

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Minnesota, my prayers will be with you. I sincerely hope you will get rid of the tumor and recover quick. And from what you wrote, sounds like you are in safe and good hands. Keep us posted on what happens.

My cousin (age 65) had always refused to get a colonoscopy until he had bleeding and some real issues. He had a cancerous tumor the size of a softball.
It's 8 years later and he's fine. It was a not so fun year of treatment, but it was worth it.
My BFF had a colonoscopy and they found cancer 2 years ago. She only had to have surgery and is now fine.
No one wants to have any kind of cancer, but it doesn't have to be a death sentence these days.

Hey MN, I just got home and was thinking its halfway through March and I haven't done my " March is colorectal cancer awareness month get your colonoscopy" post yet this year.
Sometimes surgery is the cure, sometimes it's not they won't know until they get the pathology from surgery back. In the meantime enjoy your donut but don't backslide on the progress you've made.
To heal and recover from anything your body needs healthy fats and good protein. You need to focus on eating clean until surgery and then making sure you're getting plenty of quality calories after.
We are all sending Mojo prayers and healing thoughts your way.
