That's a lot. I admire you...Oh Karen Travels. That's a lot. I admire your determination for getting to the beach - you've always known what is most important in life! Thanks for filling me in on the details. You're always in my thoughts!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397274095200016999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159792878165880497.post-55485914976000779182016-05-16T16:45:39.433-07:002016-05-16T16:45:39.433-07:00Geez Karen, even though I have heard this story......Geez Karen, even though I have heard this story...some of it as it was happening...it still is a harrowing journey to wrap my mind around. How frightening to have had all your blood...or a whole lot of it...come gushing out! You seem to have a penchant for the rare side of this F-ing colon cancer!<br />I give props to you and to your mom for together keeping it together for all these many months. You have both been my heroes and will always continue to be.<br />My hope is that by spreading the word about the danger of colon cancer occuring in people way younder than 50...the usual age for recommended screening...the medical people will see the rule needs to be changed. That people of all ages learn the signs and symptoms of colon or bowel changes and don't ignore it because they are not 50 or older.<br />Especially those people who think they are ok because it is not in their family history.<br />I am so glad Diane was in the right place at the right time. How wonderful she was able to help out that beach week, take the pictures you wanted and share moments with you. <br />Thank you for writing so honestly...your truth always moves me.<br />Love you, dear!Patty Laphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954138010105296269noreply@blogger.com
