They put markers on my nipples and the this time they came back
negative. There is still a "shadow" 7mms big on my lung, but the
radiologist said, in his opinion, that it is NOT a nodule or cancer.
So now it looks like monday is finally on for sure. A RP and a colon
resection. It's amazing what constitutes good news these days. After
all this happens, I should, with aids of course, be able to get an
erection and have an orgasm. I don't, for now, have to wear a colostomy
bag.  Only six weeks ago I thought the only thing in the world to worry
about was a hernia. Then I find out I have a tumor in the colon. Then,
that I have advanced, very aggresssive cancer.  Now, finding out I'll
probably be able to have sex and take a dump sitting on a commode
became some of the biggest news I could hear. Of course that was second
to finding out that the first bone scan (positive) was wrong. Then the
same thing about the lung spot. Life sure changes in a hurry these
days. Priorities shift and I might not be out of the woods, but every
day has become very precious. People I've never met seem to rush to
help with information. Old friends I had forgotten call, stop by, and
the air itself seems sweeter. Politics, what's happening in Hollywood,
the media don't even register in my brain,(truth be told, I don't guess
they did much any way).

Thank-you I.P. Curtis, Laurel, Steve K, Ron, and so many others for the
support y'all use here. Mankind is so much better than often portrayed,
and certainly better for your selfless efforts.
