You guys are splendiferous... Is that a word? All the phone calls and emails have been soooo encouraging!

I know this is not the right forum for this, but I'm going to relate it here anyway. For those of you who know Dan, it's hard to imagine anything keeping him down or discouraging him. He is the highlight of humanity! It's truly a blessing to say that he went thru hell and God brought him out shining. Over a week ago they found a mass in his colon through a colonoscopy that was 7 years overdue. Several days later the pathology showed it to be beyond benign. Not cancer, not just benign, but some type of "plastic" condition. Nowhere near cancer. The doc was amazed. He apologized for alarming us; docs don't do that.

Today he went and had the mass removed, and those in the operating room were the same ones who were there when the mass was found. They couldn't believe the pathology report. One out of 500 have that outcome in that office. They all felt he was truly blessed. It looked, felt and should have been cancerous. It wasn't; not even close.

Now comes another blessing. He had to go have a cat scan after the mass was found in the colon to see (in the event it was cancerous) if it had spread. No spots on the liver or anything were found (no cancer)..... but ....

a mass was found on the right adrenal gland, which sits on top of the kidney. Now whoever in their right mind ever knew of such a thing!?? But he has to have an MRI in the morning to check it out.

One thing just led to another. amazing...

Bottom line, if you're over the age of 55, get the colonoscopy done. According to Dan, who has had 2 in the last 10 days, you get undressed, they say "roll over on your side," then the next thing you hear is "WAKE UP!"

Mine is scheduled for a week from Friday...

thank you all soooo much for your support!!!

So so happy to know that Dan is completly fine! Now we keep the prayers going for you with your test!

 

[Noodle]

Thanks, Evy. We never want to know what's going on in our innards, do we? But if we find out early enough, it's curable. I have to say that when the doc first found the mass in Dan's colon, he came to us with a pic and started off his "speech" with, "have you ever been told in the last 10 years that you needed to come in and have an colonosocopy done?" Dan said, "well, yes."

Me, I'm thinking: ....... you're holding a pic in your hand that says something; quit the BS and tell us what you found." Had to control my temper...

 

[River Rat]

Glad everything's turning out okay for Dan. Pray everything is all okay with you too. But, it's a little more than rolling over and next thing you hear is the wake up...I hated all the nasty stuff you have to drink the day before.

 

[Baggins]

Yea, that stuff you drink IS the WORST!! YUK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cynangyl]

Well praise God! Praying for the results of the test on the adrenal issue as well. What a blessing you two are to all of us! Thanks so much for sharing in here so I could hear about it too! Love you guys!

 

[Juanmoretime]

[warsawdaddy]

She didn't say a word about today being her birthday!She should have had her procedure scheduled for today!All I got from her yesterday was,"I don't think me and Dan can make the CTH hunt".I swear,between her and Nana,it's just like arguing with my kids again when I was trying to get them ready to go somewhere.One excuse after another.Ok,I'll buy you,Dan and Nana an ice cream cone if I don't get anymore squabble about you guys coming to the hunt.Nana,if you can't get Charlie(I don't think it's him) to agree to come,just drive the short distance to Noodle's and ride up with them.Tell them to bring Rebecca also.We've really missed all of you and if you do not come to the hunt,then I think I'll stay home too and become really depressed and suicidal.Might be so depressed I'll schedule a colonoscopy.I swear,since I met you gals 4-5yr ago,you've caused me to lose all the hair on my head and all my teeth!

 

[Mental Granny]

After hearing about Dan's problems it reminds me that I had a narrow escape a few years back. I hurt my already once broken back on a 4 wheel cycle when it turned over on me. After a few days it really got to hurting and I went to the ER thinking I had reinjured my old break since it was held together with bolts and clamps. But while I was in the ER they did a sonogram on my back and just by pure luck spotted a large aneurysm. (Bulge in an artery going from my heart to my legs). It was described as a "time bomb" ticking away. It was 8cm, far larger than the critical stage. If it had blown out the survival rate is about 5%. I had it repaired with a stent put in through both sides of my groin and was home in 3 days! This is the same ailment that killed John Ritter a few years ago. There are no symptoms until it is too late. The doctors told me that a sonogram of the descending aorta and a colonoscopy are two things every man should have done regularly after the age of 50. Very few women ever develop this ailment for some reason and very few men know about it. The exam is painless and takes about 10 mintes, is relatively inexpensive and might save your life. Oh and at the time I broke my back in a different place! But I'm much better now. Monty

Oh I am so glad that Dan is doing so well. When I first herd about his problem I was told not to say anything till after the surgery. Prayers was sent anyway. I sure wish you could make it to CTH3 your both sadly missed. I will even put a chair with Dan's name on it for smoking. God Bless you both.

[warsawdaddy]

I apologize to all my southern friends for the snow.We just did not have any more room up here for more snow today.Not before monday in any case.

 

[Nana40]

Dang at all the snow, ya'll! We might get a touch of it here, but looks like they're calling for south Alabama to get a bunch.

Noodle...so good to hear Dan is doing well! I had no idea he was going thru all this. Give him a big hug and nice sloppy kiss for me! AND.....



Daddy....what's there to do between here and Caldwell?...besides the casinos.
