Hoping for the best.

Thank you. I was willing to accept any outcome as it was in God's hands and I am no more deserving to live a charmed life than anyone else.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Get the canera in your hands ASAP as it is good therapy to make you feel good and take photos of fun, positive things. Blessings to you and yours.

I haven't been contributing to the Photo Gallery lately because of a medical condition. I won't bore you with a lot of detail but wanted you to know I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Had surgery this past Monday and came home from the hospital yesterday, Thursday. Had many praying for me and according to the biopsy report it didn't enter into any of the lymph nodes. It was evidently caught in time so there will be no need for chemo. I'm looking forward to getting back to shooting once my surgery soreness heals.

Same situation as you 16 years ago.... think positive; we are the lucky ones with no spread.... Colon cancer is one of the easiest to cure if caught soon enough. For all you non believers, GET YOUR COLONOSCOPY and get checked out... No Pain ! Prayers are with you ...

Glad you are ok. I had the same in March of 2020. Was only in the hospital overnight but I had robotic, laparoscopic surgery which I believe is less invasive. Like you there was no spread. Keep on shooting and posting.

Yes Bob, good advice. My daughter did research and told me there's a 90% recovery rate with no reoccurence if caught in time. The first two I had I was not put asleep but it is standard procedure now to be put under so there definitely is no pain involved.

Thanks Jack. I also had laproscopic surgery but had a three night stay for observation.
