I am doing good. Learned what I can and cannot eat and I still have terrible back pain at times but found out that this is quite common with colon resectioning.

I am enjoying life, traveling more with Henry and spoiling the grandchildren. Thanks for asking.

Keep up the good work and attitude.  My wife went through the same thing several years ago and still has good days and bad days.  The bad days usually come from trying to do too much or eating the wrong things (which she loves).

The surgeon told us that most folks in that situation: 15% are back within a year for removal/another resection, 15% never have anothere problem, and the other 70% are somewhere in between.  At this point for us her "Gastro is saying, 'You need to go to Vandy', you are past my expertice!"

Thanks for the well wishes. I am glad to know that people care. And I encourage everyone to have preventive testing done for not only Colon Cancer but other medical conditions as well. My surgeon told us that had I waited mere months we would have been facing a different story as my polyp had already turned into stage 2 Dysplasia (which is between benign and cancer).

Just an update to say I had a checkup this week of my colon and no signs of polyps or cancer so I'm good to go for 3 years unless I have further problems.

That's the kind of news I love to hear! (Though I'm sure not as much as you do.  ;))  Have a great weekend young lady!
