Glorious day!

In September of 2010 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. This is the most advanced stage in colon cancer. I had a cancerous tumor on my intestines and it had spread to surrounding lymph nodes and 4 spots on my liver. I was fortunate enough to meet the best surgeons in the Des Moines area. With 2 surgeries and 6 months of chemo, and 2 1/2 years later I remain cancer free.
I started my day by eating a big breakfast at Perkins with Clint..the tremendous 12. We then has a couple hours to spare so we went to a few stores looking for an indoor soccer ball.
We arrived at Methodist Hospital around noon. I had my first mammogram. It was interesting....
Then I went to another office and got ready for my ct scan. We sat out in the waiting for ever it seemed like.  During that time I got to see the new pope being announced. Finally I got called back for mg scan.
Once that was done we went to the Oncology center. While sitting in the waiting room a couple of elderly people were talking. I was sitting from across from them and could quickly tell they were colon cancer survivors as they were both discussing their side effects of the chemo. The one guy was talking about how he couldn't drink anything cold and how in a split second the cold weather hurt. Oh how I remember those days. I don't miss them one bit.
Finally we got called back to Dr Behrens office. The nurse we usually have will usually hint to us that my scans look good. But we had a nurse that we dont normally see and she didn't say anything. Instead she asked me multiple times of I was feeling good. Clint and I were freaking out wondering why she kept asking me how I feel.
When Dr Behrens walked in I was kind of nervous. He didn't seem excited...again I started freaking out (keeping my cool on the outside) Finally he said he didnt have my results yet.  Ahhhhh....ok. He did his exam and then walked over to the Radiology area and got the results.  Thumbs up!  Clean.
Whew....what a day. :)
