Wonderful news on BOTH accounts!

DreamfulSpirit- I am just curious (and forgive me if you posted this previously)- how was it that your mother had a colonoscopy at age 49 instead of 50?

My mom said she noticed blood in her stool back in October and that's what prompted her to go. My grandfather, her dad, passed away from colon cancer in 2008 and he was only 71. He was diagnosed a few years before, and had major surgery and everything. When he was initially diagnosed, they believed he had the cancer at least 6 years prior.

My brother and I will probably end up having colonoscopies before we're 40.

I am extremely high risk for colon cancer and get them annually but I also have Crohn's Disease so it is justified for that reason too. I figure it's not a case of "if" I get colon cancer, it is "when".

Hey everyone. A year ago today I found out my stepdad had cancer (my mom didn't want to tell me at school so told me when I flew in for the holidays). I'm happy to report that after a surgery, chemo, radiation and a bunch of side effects he's still going through, he is cancer free. His scans have come back negative.

I had some pretty severe pains in my lower abdomen tonight. I tried to shake it off because I was hanging out with my bestie but I ended up going home. Around 1am, the pain was enough to bring me to my knees and I started to vomit. I saw blood and decided to go to the ER. Blood work, a CT, an ultrasound, and two pelvic exams later, I have been diagnosed with a tumor (a teratoma to be exact). Instead of seeing my PCP next week, I'll be coming in to talk about surgery options. They are not sure of the exact location of the tumor but warned me there is a strong chance they will have to remove my ovary. However, the doctor said I am young and healthy so he is very hopeful that it is benign. Any and all prayers would be appreciated on this end because I am in total shock.

Back here again...my fiancé could really use some prayers/kind thoughts. Without getting too into it, things are just gong terrible for him. He just can't catch a break and I think he's close to his breaking point. It hurts so much to see the person you love get kicked over and over again and know you can't be there to support them or do anything to make it better.

Please, please...any prayers and kind thoughts would be appreciated from the bottom of my heart.

I hope that made you feel better, even just a tad.

My pledge sister Kathy is undergoing chemo. She had to fight for custody of her son, moved home to Texas from Buffalo, NY, lost her job, and now this. Prayers appreciated.

[lovespink88]

Prayers for Kathy.
