I have to respond to your post. 1st please take a deep breath it's so scarey and I used the words crippling....June 4th 2012 I went for colonoscopy(routine) got a call the next week that I had cancer....1st you hear you have cancer then pet scan to see if it's anywhere else then surgery your mind cannot handle that much trauma...I had a colon resection july12th pet scan was clean and the lymph nodes came back clean.....remember this is why we have colonoscopy's find it before its spread outside the colon.".it sounds like you have same situation as mine after the procedure the doc said I had a huge polyp but it looked ok. Well when they examined it the cancer was inside ready to break thru...you need to tell your family and friends.....I cant tell you how much strength I got from them..my brother is doing treatment as well for colon cancer...when they say cancer you feel like they just told you your gonna die.....nope you can't even think it ....I hope I've helped you some it was only a few short weeks ago for me so I truly understand your fear an where your head is......if you have any questions or need any more info feel free to ask. Hang in there it's gonna be a crazy few weeks but you will make it just fine please give updatesView Thread
