Colon Cancer Support Group
Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer or bowel cancer, includes cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and appendix. Many colorectal cancers are thought to arise from mushroom-like growths that are usually benign, but some may develop into cancer over time. The majority of the time, the diagnosis of localized colon cancer is through colonoscopy.
I contacted someone who knows Vikkii and she hasn't heard anything either and she's going to try to find out. Vikkii was in hospice so perhaps she has passed.
She is/was such a wonderful support to many here. A real cheerleader and put her own despair aside to help others.
How will we know when someone in this group passes? It feels so unfinished to have someone just stop checking in. :(

Sometime last winter when Vonda thought she was dying then, I sent her a message to ask her how she could let us know and she said she'd give the log in info to her daughter.
I think all of us need to figure out a way to give the rest of us closure and peace. Grieving is such an important ritual and it's too difficult to just have someone "disappear". I don't think that's what Voinda would want for us.
I have been very troubled since "Vikki" hasn't been signing in.
I met Vikki45 when I first came to DS about a yr ago....she was also on the Fibromyagila site....and I noticed she had colon cancer, too.....well, I befriended her as my Mom was just dx with colon cancer and we had much in common as far as Fibro and discussions on colon cancers.
I am trying to find a way to find out how she is doing....she has struggled so long and is such a beautiful woman.
Her real name is Vonda....and I sure wish I had her phone #.....I am trying to find out just how things are going....if I find out anything....I will certainly let you know. I had a lovely msg from Kate1127 who had traced me from hugs...etc! Please if any of you find out anything....would you please send me a msg....thank you so much! I am praying each one of you is doing well and winning your own personal war on colon cancer.....my heart and prayers go out to each of you. Thank you Kate for finding me and sending a msg....I sure will let you know of any updates.....I did notice she changed her status to "GOOD"........she is such a positive gal. I was so thankful when she was out of pain after being put in the hospice home and she was so happy with all the employee's and the beautiful atmoshere.....she said it was nothing like she thought it would be....it was very upbeat and positive and lovely. They had finally gotten her pain in control and she was feeling so well....and then I did not hear anything. I did get her home address from her with the promise I would not give it out....I tried writing her family a note and hopefully they will get back to me....! Much love to you all and I will be in touch! God Bless~Tory
