Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hi Lynn-Thank goodness you got that colonoscopy! It sounds promising that imaging studies show no evidence of spread. Hopefully the tumor is well confined to the inner colon wall, making it highly curable. My prayers are with you. Best wishes for a smooth surgery and recovery.

I pray that they will be able to cure you of this and that it will be an easy road for you. This is a great group with alot of support and information. I too am a christian and am not disturbed by your testimony. Such a wonderful peace and comfort in a situation where there is so much distress and worry. May God keep you in His hands and the peace He has given to you continue whatever your future brings. You will be in my prayers on the 14th.
