Prayers are going up for you Tony. My Dad was diagnosed with colon cancer eight years ago and had surgery and low-grade chemo for a year. (he didn't even lose his hair) He had another colonoscopy on this Valentines Day and all was well. Hang in there.
Prayers for Mr. Snow
A routine colonoscopy for folks over 40 is a GOOD thing. It is done and over with under mild sedatives and any polyps can be removed.
Just had my second. Every 5 yrs is not a bad preventive measure.
