Heck I know a woman named Sympathy. <BR/><BR/>You have done all the right things and modern medicine is terrific and can work miracles in conjunction with prayer and a positive attitude. <BR/><BR/>I too suffer from the movie of the week syndrome and if I were you I would be more than feeling pain in my gut - I would have no gut left. When I get nervous I have one reaction - evacuation of all the colon in one moment of sheer pain... has been that way all my years and nothing will change. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there Crumudgeon - we are pulling for you on our knees.Where fibers meet mudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14068295067741588733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-50312416006163547532007-02-16T18:53:00.000-06:002007-02-16T18:53:00.000-06:00This blogging thing is wonderful.

I believe the people who say they will say a prayer for you actually will. In spite of this crisis you face, you are blessed in that you have reached out and in return, have allowed people to reach out to bless you. From now on, you're a "Curmudgeon" in name only.

It's hard not to have an complete nervous attack when a doctor suddenly tells you something's "not normal". <BR/><BR/>While I've not been dealing with cancer itself, I've had some abnormal (love that word) stuff going on for over a year that wasn't getting any better. Pre-cancerous, if you would. I haven't really told anyone about it but I know the stress and the uncertainty that sort of thing brings. I will say that finally, it's ok and I got a clean bill of health, but it really was a long road for me mentally.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to pray for you and your family too.sarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16144333694009700155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-90480264647028729712007-02-15T17:03:00.000-06:002007-02-15T17:03:00.000-06:00hi curmy... still thinking this is going to be fin...hi curmy... still thinking this is going to be fine... waiting is so hard, i do know that. but i think that is really all you can do, well that and educate yourself on all your options, i did that and researched doctors and did a lot of homework and knew what questions to ask, that helped a lot. we'll all be there in spirit with you... please keep posting if you can though, cause we really do care...<BR/><BR/>smiles, beeEmpress Bee (of the high sea)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08300140506585000934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-2830949839508068472007-02-15T16:55:00.000-06:002007-02-15T16:55:00.000-06:00Apparently I need to read the post below...Apparently I need to read the post below...Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408633498198921799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-56433720363023021922007-02-15T16:20:00.000-06:002007-02-15T16:20:00.000-06:00See my post for today!I know several colon cancer ...See my post for today!<BR/>I know several colon cancer survivors!<BR/>That is, if it is caught early, which I believe that yours has.<BR/>The Beach BumThe Beach Bumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459921418291067269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-10125302210131915252007-02-15T13:21:00.000-06:002007-02-15T13:21:00.000-06:00You're just sympathetic.

If I were a betting man I'd say you're a rational guy; with all you've accomplished thus far in your life, my guess is neither polyps nor TV movies should have much chance of getting the best of you.
