I asked my oncologist about aspirin. She said she puts colon cancer patients on it but it’s not proven for CC. I don’t take it, but I think about it.
Take care and thanks for sharing!

Derin,
Glad to hear it went well. I think strictures can be pretty common. You had radiation, right? That was one of my biggest concerns with radiation.
Glad to hear you are still cancer free. Take care!Susie
Porter,
Best of luck with your surgery. Although, i didn’t get it at OHSU, I did have a resection and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
And I was a nervous wreck going in for surgery. My fears were mostly around questioning if I was doing the right thing because they didn’t know my tumor was cancerous until surgery. So, I feared I might go through a big surgery for something that wouldn’t bother me in the future. Turns out, surgery was the right decision!Take care,
Susie
I’ve been told I don’t have PSC. One thing I have always been baffled by is I am the only non-smoker in my family and the only one who has cancer. Sometimes I wish I would have smoked.
Take care,

Jess,
Congratulations on your successful surgery!
I am a little over 2 1/2 years post surgery and it is hard dealing with the thought of recurrence. I also worry over every single pain I get. I’m not sure if that will ever go away.
Life post cancer is definitely a new way of life and takes some getting used to. I don’t make any long term plans. I still only make plans for about 3 months ahead. This is so hard and makes me so angry sometimes that I have to live my life like this. But, at least I’m living and I try to be thankful for that.
As far as you hazy diagnosis, can’t they do a tumor of origin test?
Take care,
Susie
