Hi/ thank god i was only in stage 1 they removed i foot of my colon and i didnt need chemo or radiation. I never suspected i had cancer i felt so good up nuntil that day that i got deathly sick. I had just left a restaurant and thought i had food poisining i had never had a colonoscopy before but when i went into the hospital that day they recommended it and i am so happy i agreed to it I was absolutely shocked when the Dr. came and told me I had cancer I feel good and life goes on my only complaint is I ended up with a big round belly that I hate. My operation was in November 2015 so it should have flattened out by now my doctor doesnt seem to think its a big deal.
