I'm back. Pretty much anyway. The basic story is I went in early friday morning (3 am?) I woke up Sunday without a clue where I was or what had happened. They found a few polyps on my colon. The biggest one was about 3 centimeters, which according to 1 of my doctors is pretty big. They did a colonopsis ( or whatever it is) and removed them. They said that I had a few spots on my brain and they weren't sure what they were. They are going to test the polyps they found in my colon to see if it could have come from that. They said it wasn't likely-it was extremely rare- that that could have moved from my colon to my brain. They said something about cancer and possible chemo, but they arent positive yet. There was swelling on my brain from the spots which caused me to have the seizure. I am taking anti swelling meds and anti seizure meds. I don't have much memory from Monday to today and none before. I am still weak and a little shaky. Things look so much different. I suppose I am going to have plenty of time to slash coming up since I'm not going to be going back to work for a while. If I do at all. All in all I am 1000% better than I was a week ago. No, I'm not near fully recovered, but I am not laying on deaths bed on a respirator anymore either. I still need to go back to do a reevaluation with some specialists. I thank everyone for the prayers and support. It truly is a miracle, that I am still here and even more so that I am home now. Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart. Theresa thanks everyone as well. I am moving kinda sluggish. I am going to try to get a few lvls in. It is so good to be back.

So glad to see this, welcome back
I hope the next steps you take go just as well as your recovery in the past few days

You're still just a Scrub

Glad you're back though

Talk about dedication! Take good care of yourself. It's a huge relief to everyone to have you back. It is rare for cancer to move from the colon to the brain, without spreading to other places first ... if it went through blood, I suppose that would be the most likely pathway, but then a blood test would likely solve that (donno, that's just what makes sense). It would be more likely that two areas like that would share a common cause or just bad timing, imho. If the spots haven't been identified, please do make sure to follow-up with tests to get that sorted out. Maybe it's clots, which if they dissipate are much less worrisome than tumors, unless the tumors are benign and not growing much/operable. It's best to look on the bright side, like you're doing. We can only control what's in our hands: our attitude, our diet, our lifestyle -- and being thankful is the right move

It sounds like you're on the mend and we will keep supporting you with our hopes and prayers as you get some stuff tested. Even if you're in for some sort of fight, we know you're fiesty. And if it weren't for the seizuring, your prostate polyps might've gone unnoticed, so this could be a blessing in disguise. Welcome back and thanks for sharing this journey with us

James welcome back buddy, glad to hear you are recovering. This is truly unfortunate that these events came about, in which seems to be a very random manner.

Best news ever to log onto.. So glad you're back James.

Just for goodness sake please take it easy!!
