The day I found out I'd have to have significant surgery to remove colorectal cancer tissue. See www.penmachine.com/2007/01/ill-be-calling-this-day-zero.html for details.
Except for me, this is an athletic bunch of marathon runners. Hopefully some of that rubs off on me. I guess that explains their good looks! :)

Sure isnt pretty, but here's an intestinal worm that was flushed out of the colon of a living human being, This is an everyday occurence here @Angel Farms. Again, not pretty, but if you, like most Americans were carrying around a gutfull of these little suckers, wouldnt you want to know about it?!?

The staff at AABR Wellington Hall in Queens, NY went blue on Dress in Blue Day on March 2, 2012 to raise colon cancer awareness in memory of their friend and co-worker Michele, who passed away last year.

Today Deb and I participated in the 6th annual Undy 5000.
Of course with me in my condition we were sure to get involved.
This is a giant inflatable colon. Inside it shows the obvious.
There were 1400 people there today participating.
Colon cancer doesn't get the press that breast cancer does but according to what I was told today it is the number one cause of death from all types of cancer.
It was a perfect day for this. Slightly overcast and around 66.
Deb and I didn't do the 5K but we did the 1 mile walk run.
Deb just had to take Chichi along,
All and all a nice morning.
Below are just a few photos.
A link if you are interested.

A cotton-top tamarin stops to study the photographer at the zoo. Native to Colombia, the tamarin has been important for medical research, as it is the only primate, other than humans, to develop colon cancer spontaneously. Now you know.

After her father was diagnosed with colon cancer, Dora B. helped to organize an international Dress in Blue Day on March 2, 2012 in Hungary. She got the National Public Health and Medical Officer Service involved as well as local hospitals, Coloplast Hungary, Hollister and more.
"In Hungary, talking about colon and rectal cancer is taboo. Nobody speaks about it, and there's no good information or screening. Everybody feels frightened to say anything about it. So, the patients are ashamed.
When my father found out he had colon cancer, and that he needed treatments, surgery, and an ostomy, he said, he would rather die. It was horrible, and a very very long road to convine that it wasn't the end. Now, he is finally cancer-free and happy, and lives a full life with his ostomy.
Because of what me and my mother learned with my father, we started a foundation in Hungary to help people to accept and realize their disease and, if needed, the ostomy. We'd like to be there if the patient or family has a question and can't find an answer.
And of course we would like to raise awareness about the importance of screening."

Still waiting for a surgery date. See www.penmachine.com/2007/02/no-dammit-i-don-know-surgery-d... for details.
I managed to score a $3 USD FON daypass here at the sixth-floor chemo ward, so I have (somewhat slow) Internet here for the first time. Since this is an 11-hour day, that's a good thing.
