well, there is NO cancer...but I have two different areas in teh colon that have issues

[greenbriar]

will find out specifics when I see the gastro doc

probably taking maintenance drugs for the rest of my life

[graywarrior]

1. Awesome

I've been thinking about you all day. Glad to hear it's not the big C. Hope whatever it is is treatable and you feel better.

[cwydro]

2. Very good news though.

Hope whatever it turns out to be is manageable.

So glad to hear there is no cancer.

[Call Me Wesley]

3. You'll manage them.

Glad to hear it's not cancerous. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear greenbriar!

Ah, what good news!

Maintenance drugs are a much superior alternative to having cancer...

I'm so glad for you, sweetie...

:hug:

[abq e streeter]

5. great news! areas with "issues", and medications for the rest of your life

yeah, might be unpleasant at times ( and then again, maybe not too much)...but it sure beats the heck out of having cancer. You must be enormously relieved, and I'm certain everyone here, myself included of course, that have kept you in their thoughts and prayers are too.

[Blue Diadem]

6. That's good news greenbriar.

:hug: Sorry to hear of the two problem areas. Hopeing the maintenance drugs will keep you pain free.

[Hawkeye-X]

7. that's great news

take it at will.

:hug: :toast:

8. thank you all for the prayers, good vibes

I am so thankful there is no cancer



also was very thankful that the nurse used a tiny needle and got the IV stick with minimal pain on the FIRST time!

[auntAgonist]

16. I am so happy for you! Beyond words! I lost my Mum to colon cancer

and I was so hoping for good news for you.

You must be SO relieved.

Now relax and see what the Dr.s have to say. You're on your way to better health I hope.

9. Well, the no-cancer part was good, at least...

:hug:

[femmocrat]

10. That's wonderful news, greenbriar!

Hope you will be feeling better very soon with the new meds. :hug:

[Moondog]

11. Maintenance = manageable. Which sure beats the alternative.

In relative terms, this is a very good thing.

[greenbriar]

12. yes it is good news. I have possibly crohns or ilietis

we will discuss specifics when I go see him next week

[seemunkee]

13. No cancer = great news

Hope the bad news part is manageable.

[Shell Beau]

14. Sorry about having to maintain for life, but YAY for no cancer!!

:bounce:

[abbeyco]

15. No Cancer = Great News!

Hopefully whatever the other issues are, they won't negatively impact you. I just think it's great that there is no cancer!

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Phew! Cancer was definitely the worst of the possibilities. Glad that was ruled out! I've lived most

of my life with Ulcerative Colitis. It sucks at times, but it's still better than cancer.

:hug:

[JitterbugPerfume]

18. that is really good news!

[UndertheOcean]

19. Wohooo ! That was my feeling , but didn't want to jinx it .

[ThomCat]

21. Let's Celebrate the Negative on Cancer! Woo Hoo!

I am very, very glad that the most dangerous possibility has been eliminated. :loveya:

[greenbriar]

22. Thank you all for the good vibes and prayers

Things are looking up!

[Flaxbee]

23. great news greenbriar!

What a huge relief! Maintenance drugs are no fun, but compared to what the news could have been.... :hug:

[Dystopian]

24. Hope....

greenbriar:hug:
Thank you for sharing...have been thinking of you...
I've been taking maintenance drugs for 25 years, you'll be fine.
Lost my mother to colon cancer many years ago....if only she had gone for tests...if only....
It is so curable.
I'm thankful that you'll be fine...
Live, Love, Laugh....Smile.


peace~

[SeattleGirl]

25. That is a relief, greenbriar!

Happy to hear that!

[greenbriar]

26. well off to bed

Thank you for all your thoughts today



I love you all

[applegrove]

27. I really happy for you you are cancer free.

[Roon]

28. I was suppose to have this procedure done last winter

I canceled one time because I wasn't ready and I was never able to get scheduled for another test..i called and called the clinic and begged them to call me back and they never did. I finally gave up and started to live with my symptoms again. I am going to go to a local doctor and have HIM schedule me for a test. They won't find anything though, and I will continue to suffer.. It really, really, sucks.

[lildreamer316]

29. I'm so glad there's no cancer.

I'm sure you can find a way to work with the issues. I'll be thinking about you...

[JCMach1]

30. Dad had this issue- the drugs make everything FINE

You will be in good shape shortly... :)

And yes, he does have to take a pill every day for the rest of his life! But hey, it works with no side-effects...

[Highway61]

31. That is really great news.

really. Congrats.
