I have been working for a full week!

The job is the same but tiring, feel like the days are 20 hour days, but I am making it through and soon it will feel like it used to.

New managment is huge step up and it's great!

I have to have blood work done every 2 months to keep track of health but so far so good.

Back to work tomorrow morning

Who has a clean colon

I do
I do

I am nervous about going back to work tomorrow but suppose it is like riding a bicycle. The undesirable elements of my job (outside of the pay) have been fired, so I will certainly have a less stressful time there; in terms of stamina though, am tired just thinking about it

colon prep today

then back to work tomorrow

work under new managment which is a relief.

I am a little nervous about the colon prep as last time I used the same method to try to cure consipation issues during chemo and it did not work at all.

My body is a lot better than it was during chemo though.

Seeing a urologist in April and we are having a meet and greet with Kevin Smith at the end of that month.

more on all this soon.

(scared that they may find polyps tomorrow---wish me luck)

I will be returning to work in two weeks

I just have to have a colonoscopy on the 5th and if all is good then I will be returning!

tough decision

I had to skip the scan. The odds of any tumor big enough to show up in a scan when I can a scan 5 months ago is minimal. And the cost is 2000 even with insurance covering the bulk of it, so I am just hoping for the best on that score.

I am doing the colonoscopy soon, that cannot be skipped

pretty good news

Okay, saw the genetic counselor today, and very good news.  Based on tests they ran on my tumor, there is a 3 percent chance I have Lynch Syndrome (a genetic predisposition toward colon cancer). I took a blood test to insure I do not have it. If that three percent does not work in my favor then there is a 50-50 chance I will have cancer again. If I don't have Lynch syndrome (and there is a 97 percent chance I do not) then that means there is only a 3 percent chance of getting cancer again.  Let's hope 3 is not my lucky number

Seeing Genetic Counselor today

And it is free, forever indebted to Emanuel Hospital for your generosity.

I am contemplating seeing a urologist since I am still retrograde, somehow it is very discouraging as a man not to be able to ejaculate even as it all works fine except for that.

Update tomorrow; incidentally, blood work came out fine
