40 % of all Colon Cancers are are in the Rectum. I have Crohn's Colitis and a history of a Rectal Abscess. My flares are brutal and in the rectal sigmoid area. Every time I walk into a Endoscopy suite or GI Doctor office there is a poster showing this truth of 40% of all cancer in colon is Rectal. Do I get depressed at all ? sometimes I get scared and then peace comes over me.
I take my medicine and eat a good diet and make changes to be happy and live life as I can. The rectal enemas and suppositories I hate so much help me to heal up. Heaven for me is going to be no more Colonoscopies or rectal medications. Exit sign only for my rectal area. Exercise helps a lot with anxiety also.
I am on disability and trying to do as much work as my body can handle. I just changed from full time to part time at work to allow body to heal and see if it keeps me in remission. I will stop work and go to school if I need to allow my body to heal.
I had a stage T1A Lentigo Maligna Melanoma Surgically removed last year in my back. It was caught early and I am cancer free. I am monitored every 3 months for melanoma now. No Colon cancer for me.

The battle for peace is in the mind. I hope my fellow CCFA victims find ways to have a loving and fulfilling life.
