Update: The cancer diagnosis was confirmed through biopsies and a PET scan. Apparently it originated in my colon. I’m getting a port installed on Thursday. I’ve also got to have a stent put in the ureter of my right kidney to keep that tumor from shutting the kidney down. Finally, they want to do a colonoscopy and endoscopy in the next week or so to see exactly where the tumor is in my colon. As soon as all of these procedures are completed they’re going to start chemo. Obviously I’m not looking forward to all of this, but you’ve got to play the hand you’re dealt. It’s just another journey I have to take.
I'm so sorry to hear this. Man, here's hoping it's not what they think.
I'm so sorry it was confirmed. I really don't know what else to say. You can beat it, I've had family that has beaten it. Praying you beat it, too.Update: The cancer diagnosis was confirmed through biopsies and a PET scan. Apparently it originated in my colon. I’m getting a port installed on Thursday.

My prayers for you as well. I believe attitude plays a not insignificant part in battling cancer, and it sounds like you have a good one. I love the insight and resolve in your statement that: "you've got to play the hand you're dealt." It's just true and, I think, the most productive attitude to deal with unexpected situations that arise.Update: The cancer diagnosis was confirmed through biopsies and a PET scan.
