Kissmak 1918, This is Sundance! Colleen invited me into this discussion. I was diagnosed with STAGE IV COLON CANCER 22 years ago this month, so my Opinion may be somewhat outdated! As short as a long story can be, they removed 12" of my Sigmoid colon with a tumor the size of an Orange!( Which had obviously spread, Luckily most of the cancer cells were in my Lymph System rather than attacking my vital organs which they were able to save)
After two months of healing they put me on a regime of 5FU, and I believe Locovoron(?)! Within 5 days of the first of a week injection I was suffering an Extreme Reaction. Within 10 days I was given two hours to live. I was on Life Support for 14 days.
I came out of the Coma and have been alive ever since! THE CANCER HAS NEVER REAPPEARED!
Final word, I spent the next year traveling in my Motor home and fly-fishing every Trout stream in the Rockies and most of the rest of North America, while continuing to work, call on customers and run my business!
My point here is that so much of what we have wrong with us, is to do to the way we live our life!
OR I MAYBE, I WAS JUST LUCKY!
MY THOUGHTS, MY PRAYERS, AND MY BLESSINGS GO OUT TO YOU!
BLESS YOU AND MAKE A STAND AGAINST THE DISEASE.
FROM THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT!
SUNDANCE(RB)
