appreciate the response. yea, all things considered when i first found out this thing could have been a lot worse. i never had any of your type symptoms other than for the last year or two i felt fatigued a lot, didn't feel like myself. hell, though working second shift, raising a family, working 60 hrs a week, who isn't tired. started having blood and that was the one that led me to the dr. it came and went for the first few months. everyone told me i had internal hemroids,, including the dr. they assumed anyway. hell, i'm 6' tall was 200lbs and exercised, no family history. this wasn't on anybody's radar. all my tests, blood test and head to toe body scans are perfect. no sign of anything anywhere. hell at 39 i would appear to be as healthy as you can be. surgery was considered 100 percent success according to the surgeon. removed everything that needed to come out. margins came back perfect. the tumor was still completely contained inside the colon. only problem is what was bigger and further along than they like. so i am in the same boat you were in. they want me to do one round of chemo. said it is an insurance policy. honestly i am perfectly fine with the percentages and odds they gave me if i do nothing but my family makes the decisions for me i guess. so i suppose i will give the chemo a shot. its do treatment once every two weeks for couple of months. said they can get my odds to as close to 90 percent as they will claim that nothing ever comes back if i do it.

sry for the long post.

Man, stay strong.

Like Austin said. Go vegan. Seriously. My bowels are beautiful since i did. You only need 58 grams a day of protein and a b vitamin supplement. Wanna never worry it after you do chemo? Go vegan brother. Go vegan. I can't repeat that enough. You really never hear about vegans getting sick.

Watch the doc What The Health on Netflix.

Red meat is a level 1 carcinogen in the same group as asbestos, plutonium, and tobacco.

Pork and chicken are level 1 and 2 carcinogen.

Got another story, brother Willy. Flew in from Orlando on Oct 10. Rode the bus with a gal who lives near where I work. She's 40. Looks 25. I asked her how she looks so good. "I'm vegan". Few wrinkles. Saw her again earlier this week. Gonna try and get some of that skinny vegan ***.

No, KS, no pics. Please be quiet. TIA.

@thabigbluenation - glad to hear that you are a survivor. One of my friend's wife had colon cancer around age 39. They cut it out and that was that. As far as I know, she's still in good health (she & my buddy divorced a few years after).

I wish I knew what was wrong with me. The last 2.5 years, I have no energy. Labs are all good and no other symptoms. I exercise, sleep, and eat ok.

@AustinTXCat - I ate at 30 Hop last night. No Yard Sale IPA on tap. Drank a Surly Wet IPA. Really nice.

In other news, my wife who got a layoff notice last month ended up being retained in a different position and may get a raise. She ended up getting a personal apology from the CEO.

Man, wishing only the best for you and your wife. It was a great personal honor meeting up with you in April. So happy for y'all. Loved the Yardsale beer. One of the awesome pleasures so far in my life to finally get together with ya. Beyond description. Good to call and speak with Willy while there, too. Unforgettable. I talked about the experience at work for weeks after.

Okay, so me and @UKGrad93 meetup at 30hop in Iowa back this past April. My old lady calls while we're talking. Had to explain the 3,500 golf balls I collected from various "raids" at the now defunct Golfsmith golf course to both him and her. I know. I'm a opportunistic hoarder.

Life is wonderful.

DUDE! I didn’t know (or if I did then I forgot) that you were a golf ball hunter too! I used to love doing that back in the day.

Ha, bastards indeed.

Man when I was in college we used to go wading in the ponds of local courses at like 2-3 am digging those damned balls out. My dad never bought a ball in his life haha. At one time I had three 30 gallon trash cans filled with ‘em.

That was a great day. Still can't believe you drove across Iowa to have a beer with me.

I've got so many right now, and probably more. Would have more if not for those FEMA maniacs. They have literally invaded my country. Man, I've had to put on my old BDUs and crawl through crap to get what I've got before those US GOV types invaded. Hurt production. We're talking serious $$.

Haha. I kept picturing your wife trying to pull stuff out of the closet and causing an avalanche of golf balls to rain down on her head (ala Mr. Moose and the ping pong balls on Capt. Kangaroo).

Thanks, man. Seriously, I would not trade that meetup for anything. Totally privileged was I. The experience is beyond words.

Aunt Agnes, at age 86, moved to Reno, Nevada this past May. Cousin Debbie still lives in the Bellevue area. Her daughter, my 2nd cousin, Genny, took a road trip to Asheville, NC, and is checking that place out as we speak. I so love Iowa and Nebraska. Too awesome.

I gotta tell ya. man, meetup was just too cool.

The sheer cleanliness I witnessed in both Iowa and Nebraska just floored me. Driving out to meet you and seeing those windmills impressed the heck out of me. I so want to return and check out the German colonies. The entire journey out and and back to Omaha ranks among the most memorable of my life thus far. Thank you so much for the experience.
