Well, it's time for more surgery!!

I had a colonoscopy done about 2 weeks ago and the doctor found a polyp that looks more like a button. Because it's so weirdly shaped he couldn't snip it like the doctor operating usually can. Soooo, he's going to have to cut me open.

I got colon cancer 10 years ago and I had a large portion of the colon removed. This polyp will require the same thing because of it's size and the the new connection will require some work.

It appears all this time that the 3 earlier colonoscopys "found" nothing but it appears the other doctors didn't probe far enough. I am fortunate that the doctor, from blood tests and other tests, found it and he also says it is not cancer. WHEW!!!!

Anyway, I hope for some prayers from my friends here!! Thanks for your thoughts!

...Heeey Ed!

Hi Ed,

It's great that this polyp was found, as they if not cancerous, are often pre-cancerous.

I'm knee-deep in anti-cancer research, including on colon cancer and if you care to PM me, I have interesting and positive news for you about current research developments.

Like everyone else here, I wish you the best for this "stitch in time" op and a speedy recovery.

Don't forget to keep us informed of progress.


thumbs up
My thoughts and wishes are with you my Friend. hug

Thanks for your words but I actually have a good life going for me. it's just that I'm reminiscing in my old age about what could've happened better. At one time some things were tough but I just spill my guts and get over it.

Again, thanks to EVERYONE that commented!!!
I wish you well Ed.thumbs up handshake
Spilling is better than storing but anyways all the best bouquet

ed missed this blog and so sorry to hear of your illness.

I send warm wishes and asked the universe to help you. hug hug
Its been a while, anyone any news from or about Ed since his surgery?
For the second time four days ago i questioned on this blog if anyone had any news how Eds operation went... there has been no sight or sound of him since his operation.... I got no replies from anyone here, no word either in private mail.. NOT A ONE.

people ask whats happened in blog land.....

this blog is or should be an eye opener how NOBODY CARES.
That's not really true itchy. I saw your post before and wondered how he was as well, but I had no way of finding out as I don't know Ed personally. Hope he is okay and his silence just means he is taking a break, rest. If anyone can email him to say we were wondering that would be great.
Checked his profile and it looks like he last signed on to CS on Sept 6.
I've said it often enough here not everything is as it seems, so i suppose you could be right.. "maybe".

Just checked his profile myself and yes last on line the 6th but four days ago and before i brought out my post i had checked and he hadn't been online since the middle of last month which was when he had his op.. anyways he had signed in, which is good wine
...saying that nobody cares might be a bit hush...? dunno

...in general, people DO care, otherwise there woulden`t been so much fuzz around here...

...and hopefully Ed is oki!

Hi Ed, I to wish you good health, good luck and wellbeing.hug
