rectal cancer

[Guest guest]

Last year I was diagnosed with a rectal tumor ( in situ) I had the

thing removed and radiation/ chemo My dr said It won't come back. Three

weeked ago I foud my ass was bleeding had a colonoscopy and there is a

tumor ( three weeks before there was nothing)

I' tired of aids and cancer. Can I survive or should I just check out

If I was over 70 years old (i'm 62), or under 80 pounds (i'm 160), I'd check out.

OTHERWISE, there have been a few times when i've felt as you, but i've always realized that there is more that i can do in life, having been retired on disability for the last 12 years. And every time, things did get better. Last week I got the highest tcell count in the last 16 yrs, 760.

And I managed to delete almost all the sources of stress in my life, reduced my expenses to less than my income, and reduced my activity to a point where i'm rarely tired. A noble goal to strive for. A goal and a challenge also help keep you alive.

cheers, good luck, and hang in there edward

, please hang in there. Things can turn around. I've had HIV now for 26 years, but diagnosed 20 years ago. In the mid-90's, I was going downhill fast. I was going to die until combo meds became available. You would never recognize me to be the same person today. I was a skeleton then. My health is great now. Yours may improve as well. Please give the treatments and what the doctors have to offer you a try. Things might seem bleak right now, but they may change for the better.
