Good thoughts/prayers/whatever for my sister

FuzzyFace · ‎03-15-2010

She was diagnosed with colon cancer a year ago and next week is going to have colos...whatever it is when they take a look at her insides with a tube inserted where you think it's inserted (and your guess is probably right).

She was treated successfully (and very aggresively); because of this, she is now required to have one annually; this year's will be performed in a few days. She SAYS she's not worred but I can tell she is apprehensive--we've been sisters for a long time

She was treated with some kind of liquid (chemotherapy?) and today she has to have the port they used for it cleaned.

I feel sorry for her and I know we'll all be glad when it's over. So if you can, would you please say a prayer for her? or send positive energy, kind thoughts, whatever?

TIA

She will be okay. In 2015 my husband had colon cancer that they caught early. He had to have 12 inches of colon removed but no additional treatment. He has to get a colonoscopy every year (in fact he goes on the 24th) to make sure that nothing returns. I had cancer in 2016 with chemo and the port cleaning is no big deal, they just run some heperin and saline thru it. Takes about 5 minutes. Will say a prayer for both of you. I have been on both sides of this and it is harder to be the support person than the patient.

Prayers and good thoughts for your sister with her colonoscopy.

I lost my dad to surgical complications after his second surgery for colon cancer. He lost 18 inches of his intestine with the first surgery, but needed no chemo. Exactly 20 years later the cancer returned; his surgery was successful, but a common staph infection resulted in systemic organ failure and he never left the hospital.

My heart goes out to anyone diagnosed with colon cancer.

I pray that the procedure goes well and your sister has good news. Bless you both!

Sending prayers for your sister and you! I also have a family history of colon cancer (dad & grandmother--both treated with only surgery) and am having my 10-year colonoscopy in a couple of weeks. It's always a little scary! I've had endometrial cancer, and once you've had any cancer, it's always in the back of your head that it might return someday.

Again, praying for a good outcome!
