milestone check-up just done.

i had a stage 3, 4t anal canal cancer for which i underwent chemo and radiation this past spring.

I did not have colo-rectal cancer. It was anal canal cancer--very different as it is a squamous cell cancer that developes within only the first inch-and-a-half of the bung. There is a tissue change after that. Slower growing tumors above that point. I didn't know these fine points of gut cancer. This is essentially a cancer of the skin tissue.

I thought a clear colonoscopy provided me with a three year breathing-room for cancer--Not so with fast-growing squamous cell cancers I learned.

The good news for that cancer? It is mightily affected by radiation and an "old school" chemo drug. Years ago, I understand,when doctors didn't discriminate between the cancers of the rectum and the anal canal the chemo/radiation treatments were given to both classes of tumors to shrink them as much as possible for the least amount of cutting for ultimate removal.What was discovered was that those of the anus often disappeared--entirely.

Sometimes surgery is neccesary. I heard that a woman with anal canal in my same stage ended up with a colostomy in spite of treatment.

I saw the picture of my tumor at my diagnosis. It was growing in the muscle wall between my vagina and anus. A horror show for sure.

It looks hopeful for me. If nothing else, I am blissfully ignorant of any future doom. Aside from the obvious--death.

But I am hopefully going to die in some other more lovely way.

And how are you?

Hello!

Rudered,bohm and Lois! Thank you.

I hope you are getting set for a happy holiday. I am going to get off my very healthy arse and start cleaning--NOW.

How's driving in the snow been, Lois? We've had our share here, too. I hate driving in it. But I love it when it comes.

I will get cracking on the house now.

Unless you are prepared to be as open in your conversation as you are here, take the pictures down.

Present yourself complete for kids. But if you cannot talk freely with these people then don't conflict the kids.

Of course when we are kids we see things--and why do we then as adults pretend that kids now don't see things. So why do we not be open about it?An option would be to ask the kids if they get the joke--And if that seems weird to you, then take the pictures down.

Please don't take the mick....but I got disfellowshipped for kneeing an elder in the nads

by outinthemeadows in

an elder in my congregation got on my nerves because he kept putting his arm around me and i'd asked him to stop.

a few weeks later he did the same thing again so i used my knee against his micro-penis.

a judicial committee was formed even though i was being sexually harrassed by this octapus of an elder.

We are not "comfort women" for the taking. I am glad you took care of yourself.

Truth about the truth of my potential DF'ing

by Crazyguy in

a lot of you know my story and my issue with whether to da, fade, fight , go to the jc meeting ect.

and a lot of you have tried to help me on advise of what to do and finally i decided to da myself and some of you thought this was a bad idea.. well the plot thinkens abit as i now have it of very good bethel soures authority, that back several months ago when i sent in to headquarters a 13 page letter asking for clarification on the subjects of the new covenant and mediator as i showed in the letter that via the bible their understanding was crap.. this letter and my actions of sending it sealed my fate.

that according to my sources, instructions were most likley sent to my body of elders or atleast one to get rid of me as a i was a troublemaker.

humbled

Yep--They read that Scripture about "sects" with me ,too, and asked if I was doing that.

Told them that after what I had been through, I would NEVER dream of starting a new religion.

Good going--and keep going!

Experiences: CAA needs to emotionally vomit... catharsis... release ... etc.

by confusedandalone in

ok, so i have been on this journey for about a year or so.

i feel like i am no longer a part of this whacked out religion, however at the same time after spending so many years in it there have been a huge array of things that have happened to me that i feel i need to talk about.

not because they will help anyone who reads them, not because they are the slightest bit interesting, but because i can no longer keep them bottled up and expect to move on.. alot of things i have experienced hurt me deeply... although i was able to move forward with my life these things tend to hang around in my mind because i have never been able to tell anyone outside of my wife.

You were young. All of us were pretty helpless under those circumstances. Talk about hitting the "ON" switch!

Elders don't need to read smutty magazines to indulge their fantasies--the young are there to chew up and spit out.

I feel bad for you--but I think you were more sane than not in your reactions--normal. Maybe they laid the screws to her (!!!!)enough--because she sounds less so. Poor girl.

Convoluted and twisted.

Edit: WHOOOAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! Just read the last part.

What a f*#ked up life--hers is.

For you--How rough it is to have those false accusations loom over!

In the world outside it is similar to a false rape claim. Someone near and dear had that happen to him--The woman went to the law when her boyfriend caught her cheating with the young man (his first sexual encounter EVER). She rolled on him by saying it was rape. Almost went to court--but it was found to be baseless and she had done that before when she had cheated on her ex-husband.

A real nightmare to have an intimate other take you down like that woman did to save herself. Save herself?

The spiritual-sexual sick-ness of the Borg makes for a special creep factor. And the gossip grapevine. Don't you wish you could put weedkiller on it since there isn't a way for the whole story to be told? AAARRRGGGH!!!!!

I've said it before, CAA, I love your wife.

You are amazing, though. You are basically sound-It seems.

But that is coming from someone who is Bat-$#!+ crazy.

Now--let it go,if you can. It will redden your ears and raise your blood pressure for a long time. But cancers grow out of those painful memories--IMO.

Take care, CAA.

Dear WMF, Julia, Cantleave, Xan, Valk,Alph,Wanna,Kidme, Kate, Doc, designs,Carla, Narci, Rip, Friends,

Yep.Thanks for your good wishes

I am eating well again--regained weight I had lost, held onto some hair until it was so ratty that I cut its tail a couple months back.

We bust each others' chops here, but we do share each others' burdens as well.

Have a lovely, lovely holiday.
