Mr. Thompson your results show you have......

A hemorrhoid.

And the crowd goes wild!!!!!! Praise God for answered prayers for tonight we celebrate.

Yes, NO colon cancer. The cause for concern was only a hemorrhoid as the rest of my colon was free and clear of cancer as well as polyps for that matter.

I am home now and couldn't be feeling any better.

I want to thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts and prayers during this little scare of ours. I don't even have the words to express my gratitude to all of you (many who I don't even know but will learn of you) who have left your kind uplifting comments for me and my family. I can also never say enough to all of the Prayer Soldiers out there who have prayed for me during this time.

If you too would like to be a Prayer Soldier just grab the button from the left sidebar and post it to your blog. Then watch The Fort for prayer request as well as updates to existing prayer requests. You can also email us your own request and they will be posted here as well. Many of these request can also be found on Sited and Blogged which is the social networking site I write and edit for. Those requests are posted there on Mondays.

Again, thanks to all of you who kept us in your thoughts and prayers.

Love and Prayers,

Im Gonna Puke!

Well I thought I would update you on what has transpired. Not much really to be honest as I don't know anything more than I did before. I had the cat scan this morning, and I thought the Barium (contrast) I had to drink for it was gonna kill me. That stuff was SOOO freakin nasty it was worse than drinking glue.

Now today is a entirely different beast. Not only am I still not able to eat, but I am having to drink some of the most foulest things I have ever put in my mouth. The latest being this lavage solution that taste like straight salt water and just makes be wanna puke even looking at it. It is soo nauseating. I might sound like a big wimp here, but trust me in telling you that this is no fun. Its bad enough having the nausea of drinking it, but I must do so while running off butt clinched to the bathroom every ten minutes to..... well you know.

All of these things as part of the process to prepare my digestive system for the colonoscopy I am to have tomorrow at 11:30am. I will not know anything on the cat scan for another 2 to 3 days, but think I should know something right away after the scope. I just don't think I will be able to remember it for a while. So as soon as I understand what has happened, and can post about the results, you will know.

Thank you so much to all of the Prayer Soldiers and others who have left comments sharing that you are praying for me. They are all very much appreciated.

Love and Prayers,
