So in 2001 I found out I had colon cancer and my doctor told me he hoped I wasn't too late....I would say, not the best way to inform me of my condition but he was being truthful. I was told after the surgery and chemo that if it didn't return within 5 years it probably wouldn't. I hit my 5 year mark and was thrilled to death to make it. Had my mammagram and colonoscopy and they found breast cancer. So went through that surgery and radiation and I'm still here after 3 years. This was a pure nightmare to live through but I'm thankful to wake up in the morning, but my heart goes out to the families that aren't this lucky....my thoughts and prayers go out to you....
Make sure you get checked every year....you don't realize how important this is for your LIFE.....
