Medical Tests

Sometimes it is a good thing to keep on top of your medical tests. My brother did not have a colonoscopy for 20 years. He had one today. They found 3 polyps. Two were quite large. They will test them for cancer. I read somewhere that all polyps eventually become cancer. My husband had a huge tumor in his colon that they were able to remove with no radiation or chemo.

Cancer Free!!!!

My husband had colon cancer surgery in April last year. He had a very large tumor that was just about to break through the colon wall. They took 19 lymph nodes and there was no trace of cancer so he didn't have to have any further treatment - no chemo or radiation. Last week he had his annual follow-up colonoscopy to be sure there was no more cancer. He got a great report. He is cancer free. Praise the Lord, God is Good, all the time.

Colon Cancer

Be sure to keep up on your regular colonoscopies as you never know. My husband had one Thursday and the doctor thought it was too early since his last one 4 years ago. However, they found colon cancer, a large tumor in the large colon. We have to wait 10 days to 2 weeks for the results of the biopsies and then it will be surgery. They tell us today colon cancer is very curable.
