My fathers death at age 52 to colon cancer was a relief...he suffered so much. I knew there wasn't any better for him and I was glad it was over. I know how you feel.

Is it wrong to hope that a loved one will die?
by Paralipomenon ini received a call last night that my grandmother had a stroke.
my first thought was "finally".
i know how awful that sounds, but her health has been deteriorating for years.

Lets TALK COLON CANCER (join in)
by DannyHaszard insaid to be the #2 cancer killer in the west pre-cancer growths start out very slowly takes years to evolve,but good news,as the colon/large bowel has an egress to facilitate exams and most cancers occur in the last end of the pipe the rectum so it's easy to detect.
almost a taboo topic,it seems anything goes with explicit talk of sexual matters but folks are squeamish when discussing bm (bowel movements) as a 28 year patient ravaged with a diseased bowel from the auto immune disease ulcerative colitis i have lost my bashfulness.
i have had countless colonoscopy .they can make you so relaxed with a little morphine that i once fell asleep.

My dr. had to have a reason to justify doing a colonoscopy on me because he didn't think my insuance would pay for it. I was having some bleeding from fissures and he used that as a reason to have one done. I think anyone with any immediate family member that had colon cancer should be screened early. Like I stated in my earlier post, my Dr. was hesitant to do it but I demanded it so he finally did one. Just think if I hadn't had it done I would still be sitting here with that polyp inside me.

My father died of colon cancer at age 52 almost 17 years ago. I had my first colonoscopy when I was 40. They found a polyp (the kind that can change to cancer) so I had another colonoscopy last year at age 42. Everything was clear so it will problably be 3 years before I have to have another. The test is really not bad at all (the morphine is great), but the day before is kind of bad doing the prep. My father suffered terribly....I don't want to ever go through what he did. When I was 40 I had to demand that I get tested (my dr. said that just because my father had it does not mean there is a family history because no one else had it). Now since they found the first polyp, my Dr. said I will never go more than 5 years without having a colonoscopy.

I was about to leave and walked outside and looked up and you could see it coming. I ran back inside and everyone got in the hallway going to the restrooms. I keep hearing at least 5 - 8 students were killed at Enterprise High School. It's a sad day in Lower Alabama.

I gave my roommate the letter about the Watchtower changes
by oppgirl63 inshe just read it and handed it back to me.
i think she believes me because i have never told her anything regarding the jw's that wasn't true.
she really didn't have anything to say about it, and i didn't question her.

At the 2 day thingy my roommate went to a few weeks ago, a 10 yr old got dunked. I asked her if she thought it was okay for someone so young to be baptised into the JW's. She said she thought it was as long as they had been in the truth all their life...that they should know what they are getting into. But she thought a 6 yr old would be too young.

Can someone direct me to the topic with the letter? I need the .pdf with the watchtower logo or she won't believe it.
