I have colon cancer.

[FSTJACK]

I have recently been diagnosed with colon cancer.

I have debated on posting this on the forum for about 3 weeks now and since I am a firm believer in what prayer can do, I have decided to do so and ask for you prayers.

I had a routine coloscomy done and this is how it was found.

The Dr that did the procedure believes that it is in the early stages. I hope he is correct.

I will have surgery this Friday the 20th at 5PM, at Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego.

They plan on doing a colon resection where they will remove 6 to 8" of the colon.

Yes I am scared, but I have faith that it will work out as it should.

I have a tremendously strong will to live a long life.

I will do everything that the DRs tell me to do.

Also if it is my time, so be it, I have had a wonderful life.

I will be out of it for the first few days so I am told.

I will be in the Hospital for at least a week, the DR says that where they cut the colon it goes to "sleep" and takes about a week to come back to life and wake up.

For that period of time I will be fed through an IV and I will loose about 10 pounds, (that is a good thing).

Don't know what else to say, thanks for all of you being who you are and God bless you all.

In the early stages, your prognosis is excellent for a full recovery. You didn't mention how old you are or your general physical condition. My prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery to you. Your mental attitude is one of the most important things. Just visualize your healing process and combating the disease. Spend some time researching a diet for immune system support and strength.
