I felt kind of like a frog trying to jump out of a deep bucket. But at least the doctor was happy: rectal cancer gone, kaput, sayonara, finished.
He’d still like to operate on the colon cancer–say six weeks from now. I have never had abdominal surgery. I wonder how long I’ll be stuck in the hospital.
Anyhow, it’s supposed to be good news, my wife thinks so, my sister thinks so, and any opinion I might have would be based on ignorance and fear. That works for foreign policy, but isn’t so great for everyday life.
Wonderful news!
One step at a time. That is usually the way it goes in these situations. Prayer continues.
What wonderful news about the vanished cancer! Thanks be to God! I continue to pray for further healing.
“Cancer gone” is now one of my favorite phrases now. My mother underwent colon cancer surgery and did well many years afterwords. We fight the good fight of faith with you, Lee. By Jesus’s stripes we are healed.
Amen!
It sounds to me as if you are winning. The colon surgery will likely be routine. Bowel resections hall amazingly quickly.
I think that title scares me.
Less scary than leaving the colon cancer in place. That’s basically what Ronald Reagan had done, so you’ll be in good company.
Could I have someone who’s alive instead?
He lived another 19 years, and it never came back. You are prevailing.
