Welcome to Connect, @sockwelljames. I'm grateful that you posted your story to tell others about the importance of getting checked. Colon cancer can be effectively screened, but many are afraid to do it because they fear bad news.

What surgery are you supposed to have on the 28th? Have you discussed taking a break with your surgeon?

No i have not. Now dont have any large intestines. And now have polyps in small intestines. 1000s to be extact. Exery yr have to have some cut out for rest of life they told me. Last one was 2 inches at the y .were pankrus and gallbladder drains to small intestine. Cut it out put stint in pankrus .got pankritus 2 wks later back in hosiptal. But no have not discussed it. .my doctor first came to me crying saying it was too big for her to handle and got me set up with who she said is the best in new orleans. I still love the lady and respect her honesty so much.
