Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Just call me Unique, the docs do, lol.... Just a quick update. I went to the oncologist today for follow up from my surgery and how many times must I hear how unique I am. The topic arose when we were discussing the origin (if there is one) of my colon cancer. There is no family history. I have not been on any meds associated with it or have any other usual circumstances but then again ... I am not usual, I am Unique, the doc said so! Having scleroderma as a child is unique, heck having JRA is unique because as we know (ha) Kids don't get arthritis, old people do! Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is not common but am I common? Nope, I am Unique. Colon cancer at 41 is young, often unusual the doc said. Doc said, you are one our most unique patients with the autoimmune issues. You get the heavy stuff. BUT you seem to find the will to survive and you know why???? because I am unique! The appointment was great and it was reaffirmed that the cancer is gone! I do have to follow up for labs , have a colonoscopy at one year and just keep being unique , I suppose. Unique was the word of the day so I went to the dictionary and here is what it said: 1 : being the only one : SOLE <his unique concern was his own comfort> <I can't walk away with a unique copy. Suppose I lost it? -- Kingsley Amis> <the unique factorization of a number into prime factors> 2 a : being without a like or equal : UNEQUALED <could stare at the flames, each one new, violent, unique -- Coover> b : distinctively characteristic : PECULIAR 1 <this is not a condition unique to California -- Reagan> 3 : UNUSUAL <a very unique ball-point pen> <we were fairly unique, the sixty of us, in that there wasn't one good mixer in the bunch -- J. D. Salinger> synonym see STRANGE hmmmm.....unique, peculiar, unusual, strange.... yep, that's me unique...lol to all my unique friends....have a blessed day!
