The C word

[Darius]

I'm not anticipating much fun with it. I just don't get why it happened

I, too, am sorry this has fallen on you. Is there a family history of the disease?
Genetics is a big factor in colon cancer. Do you know if it is a cancerous polyp or a tumor?
I ask because you can ask your doctor all these details.
I know someone who had stage 1 colon cancer at a young age, like you. He had surgery and some follow up treatments, but regular screening has shown him to be free of the disease since then. His doctor recommend a baby aspirin daily and a calcium supplement because apparently these can offer some prevention. You probably have much to learn about the disease and how to stay healthy. You caught it at the best possible time.

Good luck, bryyzy and keep us informed, please.
