It looks like the colon cancer is gone and it was not in any of the lymph nodes that were tested. I'm so relieved. This has been one stressful summer, that's for sure!

It's so important to get that first colonoscopy when you turn 50, even if you don't have any symptoms. Check out what I found on MSN Health:

In 2008, some 149,000 Americans were diagnosed with the disease [colorectal cancer], and 50,000 died of it. Experts believe that adequate screening could have prevented perhaps 60% of those deaths.

60%!!!!

So now, after 3 weeks away, baby and I will head home tomorrow. Let's be honest - it's a little scary. My husband and dog have been living the bachelor life, and who knows what I will encounter when I get there... please Lord, don't let it be too messy.
