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.
When I was told I had a tumor and would need surgery and chemo it was exactly 1 week before I had to return to teach college. I finally got my foot in the door and was assigned 4 classes. This is all part of my changing careers/retirement plan and I refused to take time off for this cancer crap. So, I worked my teaching around all the other stuff.
I logged all my grades on 5/18/10 and now "school's out for summer!". I am not working this summer (for the first time since I was 16)and have set new goals. Gardening, crafting and making jams and canning and reading. I plan to read books by and about First Ladies of America.
My last chemo tx is predicted for early fall. I am looking forward to this summer!

Other than Eleanor Roosevelt, I have never read a bio on a first lady. I'll look forward to recommendations from your reading list:-)
Enjoy!

I was just at the dentist's office and starting reading the October 2009 Vanity Fair article on Jackie. Check it out if you haven't as it's really good. They let me take the mag home to finish -)
