Colon Cancer Support Group

Hi agr1030...
I pray for you that it's nothing to worry about. but PLEASE see your Dr. Don't be an ostrich...if it is CC...the sooner diagnosed and treated, the better!!! Many times if it's none invasive, chemo and radiation are not needed. again, please see your Dr. We're here for you :)
Please keep us updated, you will have many prayers coming your way...SurvivorX2 :)

thnx for the support an prayers. I know i need to see the doc. its just i know how many bad directions it can go and i dont think im strong enough to face any of them if it turns out to be c.c. ... iknow i need to get in the doc. soon and i plan to. Its just not easy workin up the courage.

It's an embarassing topic. Don't be bullied or embarassed into ignoring the problem. It's much easier to address the problem the earlier you detect it. Call the doc today. They've seen everything.

I understand scared, we all understand it here in this support group, but ya gotta go to the Dr and do it now.

Hi AGR1030...
I wish I had gone when I heard that first little voice in my head. I m so sorry I kept putting it off. I could have caught it before it spread, I wouldn't be in this mess... so, please, just skip on over to that doc's office. And we will be here when you get back and hear hopefully the good news that you are fine. : )
If the news is less than stellar, we will be here for that too.

Mate like the ladies have said you need to get to the docs. By the sound of things you are driving yourself crazy worrying. The only way you will know is to have an examination. If you do have it then the sooner they start to treat it the better your chances. And if you do not have it then he may be able to tell you why you have the symptoms.

Agr by not going to the docs you will just cause yourself more grief than what you need.

I too will have you in my prayers.

ty guys ... i went to the hospital last week when the pains got bad ... but they had a 2 hour wait and i started feelin better so i went ahead and went home since it was like almost midnight ... and since then the symptoms have been real minor ... so im hopin it is goin away and its over ... but i agree i stil need to go to the doc ... im tryin to get there ... thing is im just worried no matter wat it is ... if its bad im afraid i wont be strong enough to fight it knowin the outcome that may be ahead ... but im tryin to ignore them fears as they r just weakness ... and soon as i get checked out or my symptoms worsen again ill let you guys know ... ty for the support

agr, Make an appointment, commit and go. Dosn't matter if the symptoms disappear altogether, you have family history, and you've questioned it, so do yourself a favour, stop beating yourself up over it and GO. Then you'll know either way. If there is nothing. Fantastic. If there is something, then we'll work through it. You do the legwork required and deal with it, and we'll support you 100% along the way.

I have faith, and I have hope that it is nothing. There is always hope, but you don't know until you go and have your scans. agr, your not alone in any of this yeah. We are all here leaning on each other. Now draw on that courage inside of you, and book an appointment.

Hi there,
I am new here. Its my hus who has been diagnosed with cc. Since the time he has been diagnosed, I have been thinking if at all we had taken all those symptoms seriously a little bit earlier, (even days count)his staging would have been even better. Now 4 of his lymph nodes were involved at the time of surgery, so just think that if at all this happens to be cc(I truly pray it is not) u are making ur situation worse by waiting, since the cells are growing and spreading each day. so dont worry and make the effort. All the best.
