Today is my 6month post op "anniversary" since my takedown. It has been somewhat of a tough 6 months but glad I am at this end of the spectrum. I heard today that a very good friend of mine's son was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. I am so sorry for him, but this news makes me realize I made the right decision with my surgery. Thanks for all the great input and advice since I had my initial colon removal surgery in February.
