The Dr. office called and said they found more blood in my stool.....I know what that means. I'm not frightened, just a bit depressed. And I won't be buying any green bananas..

Praying for you, Tom. Give the whole situation up to God, not always easy to do, but He will take care of everything and ease your mind too. GW

Thanks Yall!
Well, the last time I had blood work the number that they use to judge the cancer was below 5, so that was a good thing. I'm believing it's from internal hemorrhoids that I've had for years. I know that the doctors at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Newnan, Georgia said that after my last round of chemo that was all that they could do. I feel ok, maybe a bit lethargic from getting old, but overall not too bad. I really don't want another colonoscopy......I'll have to discuss this with Lori and see how she feels. It's really not a good time as she started back to school this week, and will get her students tomorrow.
But by all means, pray. I covet your prayers an concern!

I remember your past trouble and this news is troubling but wait for the report ...I'm praying for you .

Praying for you. Tons of reasons for blood that are not the big C. We create what we fear my friend.
Wishing you luck, buddy. If they can remove any pollops, its not so bad. My father is going through something similar and he honestly feels better than he has in 2 years. Stay positive, good things will happen.
May God in his infinite wisdom bring comfort and healing to you, Tom. You are on our prayer list. God bless.
That was very good advice to not ASSUME it's cancer. There are a number of things that can cause blood in the stool. And if you won't submit to the scope, nobody can help you. Be a man. Now that they put you to sleep to do the operation, it's really not that big a deal. Will be praying for you that it's a false alarm. Keep a stiff upper lip, brother!
Even if you have polyps - that does not mean cancer or anything else. I carry a gene that causes polyps and cancer (doctor calls me a polyp factory) - It has hit every generation in my family going back 5 generations in the past and has effected my nieces/nephews. You can survive it. I have lost my entire colon due to polyps, but I am still alive and doing well. You need to get the colonoscopy to determine the cause of the blood in the stool. It may very well be internal hemorrhoids or it may be polyps. Colon cancer - if that is what it is - is a slow grower - I know as I still form polyps and have had displasia in my polyps more times than I can count on both hands - but we get rid of the bad polyps routinely - every 6-12 months - and t has never progressed to cancer yet. I had my first major surgery to remove a portion of my colon at age 26. Removed the remaining portion of my colon at age 40, and here I am at age 66. I have had colonoscopies or flex sigs as frequently as every 3 months for 5 years and now have them every 6-12 months. I also have to have an upper gi (ERCD) every 4 months due to polyps in my lower stomach. It is a game changer but not a game ender. Prayers to you and hope you follow through with the colonoscopy with good news forthcoming after that.

Father please be with Tom as he picks his route. Please guide him with a clear mind and take the fear away so that he can know the path he needs to follow. Father, I know You know what will happen, but please walk with Tom and wrap Your loving arms around Tom, his family, and their friends. AMEN
When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!
