2007-02-13 Update - Added new sections "Chemo-The Conclusion" and "Two Years Later" plus one more paragraph to "Funny Spots".
In 2004 I had a colon cancer removed. I have recorded some of my experiences in the hope that others who find themselves in the same condition will benefit from comparing their experiences with mine. I found that talking with others and reading about it was helpful both in letting me know what to expect and in comforting me that I was not alone.
This version of the pages has actual pictures of wounds and the colostomy that some might consider unsuitable. If you prefer to see the version WITHOUT pictures, click here.
Pick a topic or an element of the experience from the menu at left. PLEASE let me know any comments or questions you have.
