I met Kendall when she showed up for the art bazaar my friends put together for me when I was first diagnosed. She's young and has been fighting colon cancer for three and a half years. I had eight chemotherapy treatments, Kendall has had eighty.
Kendall is in a substantial amount of pain and the cancer is growing at a rapid pace. She's chosen to stop chemo and enjoy what time she has with her husband. I visited Sunday, honored that she gave me a moment of her time to take her photo. I told her I could do absolutely anything she wanted with it. She said, "I want to look fierce, with fiery hair." Not a hard task for such a fierce fighter.
She asks that we all appreciate what we have while we have it.

"The platform for my reign is early detection of colon cancer, and so naturally I had to get involved with the CCA and became a Voices Volunteer! I just wanted to share a picture with you from Dress in Blue Day... I spread the word about the event in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area, and to my surprise, a very large number of people responded and wore blue! I'm very proud and am making this event even bigger next year! In this picture are my sorority sisters (Tri Delta at the University of Texas Arlington), who helped me tremendously on Dress in Blue Day."

Colon cancer is cancer of the large intestine (colon), the lower part of your digestive system. Rectal cancer is cancer of the last 6 inches of the colon. Together, they're often referred to as colorectal cancers. About 112,000 people are diagnosed with colon cancer annually, and about 41,000 new cases of rectal cancer are diagnosed each year, according to the American Cancer Society.
Most cases of colon cancer begin as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called adenomatous polyps. Over time some of these polyps become colon cancers.
Polyps may be small and produce few, if any, symptoms. Regular screening tests can help prevent colon cancer by identifying polyps before they become cancerous. If signs and symptoms of colon cancer do appear, they may include changes in bowel habits, blood in your stool, persistent cramping, gas or abdominal pain.

The pimples and redness came on shockingly fast (as they are supposed to), mere days after I received my first dose of the drug last Thursday. They're worst on and around my nose and on my forehead, although they extend up under the hair on my head, down my neck, across my chest and shoulders, and onto my upper back. The rash looks pretty gross, and sometimes feels even worse. Bleah. [Read more...]
