Once again, thank you to all. I was a little blue yesterday after talking to the doctor, but after 10 hours sleep I am feeling better (mentally) this morning. I have to see a specialist today and then come up with my short term and long term goal modifications to beat this and still get EO19 up and running. Without getting mushy, you guys are great.
Hang in there neighbor!! I'll send a few words to the man up stairs as well. I enjoy your company on here.
You need a social life more thanI do brother! Thank you!

Yesterday, I got a call from the Dr who performed my colonoscopy and was told that 2/3rds of the polyps removed had signs of cancer. She set me up with a cancer specialist and said I needed to go through some follow up therapy to rid myself of the cancer. She then told me I would be getting a call today from the cancer center. When we (my wife and I) got this news, I was a little depressed and my wife was really distraught. Last night, I went to bed fairly early and after I had laid down, my wife called a friend of hers whose husband is one of the top, if not the top pathologist in the state. I was expecting a call from the cancer center this morning and was hanging around here until I got the call. When the phone rang, the caller ID showed the call was from the hospital, so I sat down and picked up the phone. It wasn't the cancer center, it was Dr Lee. He had gone to work this morning real early to pull the polyps to screen himself. He went through the slides that were prepared and then conducted a complete pathology of every bit of all the polyps. His said that after looking at every cell there, there was NO cancer. I did have tubulovillous tissues that could have grown into cancer in the future and a person who has a history of polyps will usually grow more so I need to be checked every other year, but nothing to fret over now. He called the cancer center before calling me and relayed the diagnosis to them. They have cancelled all procedures they were setting up for me. I called my wife at work with the news and her boss was standing over her shoulder while we spoke. My wife cried with relief and her boss gave her the rest of the day off to come home and unwind. This has happened to us 3 times now. My wife was told she had cancer twice before and by the time all the tests are done, it's no where to be found. Each time, prayers have rolled in for us and each time, the primary diagnosis has been determined to be wrong. I believe that it is 100% due to the prayers and support we have received. Thank you all, may God bless each and every one of your lives and may his spirit guide you to do His will His way on every path you take.

Mark

"Through him all things are possible."

I know this to be true myself.

God is good.

PM me sometime, AF.....I've had a similar issue that we could discuss.

Good for you. That is, indeed, wonderful news.

The power of Prayer man I am telling you.
This does call for a HUG brother (Man law dismissed here).
Great news and give the wife a big hug from all of us.

Sidenote I will keep that spreadsheet under raps and I take it you will still be the man?

I will take it Tony, but you could still check my math as we go along and results start flowing in if you would.
