Hello Virgo,

I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2017. I had colon resection with 12 inches of colon removed. My surgery was performed by the Davinci robot and was a pretty quick recovery. It took a little time for my body to get on a ‘regular’ schedule but have no long lasting effects. Wishing the same for you 🙏🏻

Hello@minabird! Thank you for the well wishes. I have not been on the site to chat regularly for awhile. But, i still receive notifications. I became very involved after my resection surgery 10/2019. I received great advice and more importantly members were nonjudgmental and there was no taking “my inventory” regarding what I wrote. I will always be grateful to the site, it’s mentors, Colleen (hi colleen) and it’s members. I feel I was a good contributor and it was exciting to see the membership for colon cancer grow. I had my follow up colonoscopy last week and it came back clear yay!!! So, there’s no stopping me now 🙂 Happy to hear of your positive outcome and wishing every one going through this now and in the future hope and encouragement. This site should remain a nonjudgemental platform in all aspects. Plainly put, if you don’t have positive thoughts, maybe ask yourself if criticism is necessary. One last thing since I’m here. A shout out to “bandaids”! Hope your surgery went well and you are healing quickly. One of these days, maybe you will change your online name from bandaids to SUPERWOMAN!!!!!! You’ve earned it Take care everybody. Virgo1952
