Could use a little encouragement from the Army...

The colonoscopy that found this in me was no big deal. I was asleep the whole time, no pain or humiliation...aside from the KY in my crack!

Yeah, when I turned 25 they thought I had colon cancer, because of bleeding down their. I had to wait a whole week to get the colonoscopy, and the wait to get it thinking I had a terminal problem, so trust me, I know what your going through. Half way through the week, I accepted and embraced the possibility of probable bad news. When they finally put me on colons gone wild, they found a hemmoroid, and gave me the all clear. I never gave up, nor did I imagine I would ever throw in the towel to the bitter end, and thats the way you need to be. Not only strong physically, but most important mentally, because its been proven that when a person is stressed, it wears down on their immune system, so keep a positive attitude, and never give up, were all rooting for you, Seriously!!.

My wife had colon cancer when she was 35. She's 55 now, so you can beat this!

I had a tumor in the roof of my mouth when I was 18 that involved several surgeries. The docs all say age plays a factor in it all.. Your young and will get through it no problems. The key is to stay strong, listen to your docs, and look at the bright side of things (beer ). I went in confident all would be well, it was for sure difficult but nothing you can't power through.. Keep your spirits up and get help from the people around you.. I know that if I can do it anyone can.. Plus all the cool scars... Lol..

Yeah, I'm still here. When they went in to do the surgery, they found that it had spread to my liver as well. Not a huge amount of cancer, more like a few very small tumors. I spent the whole week healing up and getting more scans and a picc line put in my arm to deliver chemo. The chemo starts tomorrow morning and lasts indefinitely. The oncologist seems confident that this will all pass, and so do I. I'm gonna kick this things ass, I promise you all that much. Thank you all again for the support, I couldn't do it without all your help.
