What "the Judge" and I might have in ...

TR

Colon cancer.

In a week, after medication I'm still bleeding, I'll have to do a colonoscopy to see what's up.(pun intended)

It's funny the thoughts that go through the mind when something like this comes up. Like, Is my life insurance paid up? Yes, I checked that, and there should be enough money should I pass. Will my wife be strong enough mentally to handle three teenagers by herself? I certainly hope so. Should I start to put together a living will? Probably. Should I start trying to find a buyer for my business? Hmmm...maybe. Should I step up my work, earn more money so I can pay down what debts we have? I should be doing that anyway. How will this effect my kids? They're doing so well right now that I'd sure hate to throw a wrench into the works. Who will take care of all the mechanical and repair situations that come up? I don't know. Maybe brothers will help.

Or, it could be nothing.

OH NO! TR I hope it is nothing. You are in my thoughts.

Think positive. Perhaps it is a stomach ailment.

Hey TR

Sorry to hear you're not well. I hope the test results come back quickly and with good news for you.

If I can help you with some medical info, please let me know.

Love, Scully

Sorry to hear TR. It'll be hard to vote for you if you're laid up.
Did you know that Ronny Raygun was the only sitting president to have
a part of his body removed while in office? They've got a section of
his colon on display at the Smithsonian. It's funny the things some people collect. Hope everything works out for you

They faught like warrior poets...and gained their freedom.

I hope your problem is not serious. At least it's good that you're doing something about it.

Not too long ago I had stomach ulcers and it was hell just going through all the tests to figure out what I had. It turned out o.k. and with medicine I was able to control it.

It's scary but hang in there.

jesus TR. how scary. i'm hoping for the best. nothing like a good scare to really put things in perspective, eh? take care.

TR,

((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))

My 37 yo cousin just went through colo-rectal cancer and THANK GOD she insisted on getting checked out because much longer and it would have been too late.

In South America and Africa Drs. will sometimes refer to Colon Cancer as "The White Man's Disease" (because we eat so much processed foods.) Word to the wise is sufficient.

I'm very glad you're taking this seriously and getting it checked out.

Love,
Lisa
