		<description>Dear Lisa,
As a newbie here, applaud you for sharing such difficult feelings in the hopes of helping others. (How I wish many friends of mine would have their routine checkups of all sorts.) You&#039;ve been through too much, but faced it with courage and you&#039;ve survived and seen life unfold with its treasures. I dearly hope you remain in remission. I&#039;m glad you have a thorough dr. and even if there&#039;s another scare, you WILL beat it. 

BTW, all of my cameras are Canons, too, although I have not used them to the extent you guys have. I recently discovered photography, moving from a Canon G shot  (I think it was called) several years ago to the first Rebel and recently to a 50D with an added L lenses I&#039;m hungering to try out. Keep enjoying each day. I LOVE your photography.

Hugs,
Gel</description>

		<description>I lost a friend (in her 30s) to colon cancer.  her Dr didn&#039;t even push for the tests, because he told her she was too young.

I had my first colonoscopy here.  http://thedustwillwait.blogspot.com/2007/07/im-just-peachy.html
And will be looking at another one in in 2 years.

Hope you will smile for a minute when you read it.</description>

		<description>I had no idea. Thank you so much for your sharing of this intimate part of your life. Not knowing is almost harder than knowing, sometimes. I so appreciate your courage in sharing. And all of us need to live life as if it is our last day, and our first as well, and not get freaked out or depressed in that knowledge. I commend and support you in your quest to live the conscious, spiritually aware life. Best of luck and wishes for a long and happy life to you.</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t know that colorectal cancer was number 2 and I am sure I&#039;m not the only one. This was difficult to read not because I have cancer, I don&#039;t. But it made me think back to the day I was told I had multiple sclerosis and how I felt. MS doesn&#039;t usually take people&#039;s lives, but I really understand the wondering of what life could have been, what will it be and the toll it takes on the people who love you. I think denial is the first step to dealing with any loss. Then anger and bargaining and then acceptance and then back again. I think that you have really helped people to see that and also how important these tests are even if they are kind of scary. And how life is such a gift and how I know you treasure each and every moment. Don&#039;t you wish that everybody did.... I will keep you in my thoughts...Michelle</description>

		<description>Oh Lisa ... my heart goes out to you. I&#039;m praying for you and that nothing is coming back. This is one anniversary you certainly don&#039;t want ... and it sounds like you&#039;ve been lucky so far so I&#039;m keeping that in mind that it will still be this way. From what I&#039;ve seen on your blog in the short time I&#039;ve &quot;known&quot; you, you&#039;ve made the most of your life. You seem like a happy person with a vital life force and you are surrounded by love and grandchildren. Sending you hugs and good wishes.</description>

		<description>May the Lord bless you with excellent health and no reoccurance.  I am a survivor and know the fear and uneasiness when facing an upcoming test.  When I keep my eyes looking up, the fear is replaced with peace.</description>
