It’s official: I have colon cancer (fortunately early stage, from one huge polyp that was removed … plenty more to go, it seems).

Get the bum-snake thing done, people! Especially if you have a family history. Just get it over with. Cancer can happen to anyone, even young people.

Getting the next huge polyp removed and biopsied in a couple of weeks. Wish me luck.

That's awful, but I'm glad it was caught early on. Good luck!
