Re: Return of colon cancer

[Guest guest]

Sonya, Sorry that you still have some pain where you had surgery.

Hopefully your surgeon can give you a better idea what that is all

about.

I noticed that things are so different for me too since the

surgery. Had some uncomfortable feelings in my gut. Started wondering

about the cancer being back. Then passed gas. Realized it was just

gas pains. Oh, what we go through with the worries!!! I don't think

those fears will ever leave us. But you know I think some of that is

a good thing. It will make us more aware of our bodies so hopefully

we will niotice things earlier and if it does return we can catch it

at a more curable stage.

Hoping that you get some good answers from your surgeon. Take it

one day at atime. Minute to minute if need be. Let us know how you

are doing. Ingrid
