UPDATE ....A new outlook, thank god..
    #3284862 - 10/27/04 02:49 PM (19 years, 4 months ago)

i would ask a mod sticky this so all my friends have a chance to read it.
(i have discussed this with a few of you already)

Over the summer I started to have red blood in my bowel movements. I ignored it and passed it off as hemmoroids. About four weeks ago I began to have a dull ache in my lower left abdomen which spread up my left side. My bowel movements again contained blood and were much smaller than usual. I was into 3 different doctors and the emergency room. Finally I saw a gastrointestinal doctor and he ordered a colonoscopy. Today I found out that I have and advanced tumor in my lower colon. Even with treatment the prognosis is not looking good for me. I am in a state of numbness in shock. I don't know how much longer I have on earth. I am done posting, probably for good. I may stop back to check pms. However once I go in for surgery, Im not sure I'll have access to a computer again. THey think it has already spread to my lungs.

This IS NOT a joke or a hoax, this is deadly serious. Right now I'm crying pretty hard, and I never cry. I figure I'll get telling my online friends out of the way first.... I have no idea how I am going to hold it together to break it to my friends IRL.

thanks for putting up with me :kott:

**************************UPDATE*************************
yesterday when i made the above post i was obivously scared out of my fucking mind because of what my doctor told me. he basically gave me worst case senerio and was warning me with only  6 months to live ... well today i have been a the hospital allllll fucking day again. but the news i have is much different from what i was told. the cell sample from the tumor came back and the cell aggresivness is not as bad as it could be....further more i was given a round of CT scans of my chest cavity and a second round on the abdomen. the amazing news is the chest pains i was having and the shortness of breath were probably from anemia due to blood loss from my bowel movements. My Ct scan shows NO invasion of any other organs AND! non of my lymph nodes appear to be inflamed!!!! which would mean even though the tumor is a decent siz it is only in the infancy stage and has not fully penetrated the bowel wall!!!! if it is indeed only a stage 2 carcinoma i will be able to have almost a complete cure with a simple non invasive surgey!!! also my bowel will just be resected instead of me having to wear some crappy colostmy bag....the doc also said if it is indeed stage 2 then my chance of survival is about 85% and i will only have to do 1 6 week treatment of chemo.....of course i wll have to follow up constantly in years to come to make sure it never comes back.....i may be able to make it to ne2k5 afterall...i go in for surgery next week and they will be able to get a better look at the nodes......this is a total 360 from the garbage i was spewed by my gastro yesterday....he scared the shit out of me.....its still cancer and it still sucks but the stituation has improved :smile:

on a side note i had my SECOND colonoscopy today, they wanted one more look before surgery i guess :shrug: having a camera up your ass is bad, but the prep phososoda u have to drink the day before...UGGGG ...u basically pee out your bum for 6-7 hours :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:

thankyou for the out pouring of support!! ill be back with updates periodically, until then peace :kott:

KOTT.. I don't know if I have a right to post since we don't really know each other.. but sharing this community you begin to feel love or friendship for nearly everyone.

Your news is very very saddening.. I have no idea what it's like for you, but my heart and spirit is with you in this time, I just wish there was something I could do.

I don't really believe in god too much but my prayers are with you as well. Stay strong bud, never lose hope, and as my grandfather told me the day he passed, don't stop living until you stop living.

Holy shit! Did your doctors tell you that the tumors could be life threatening?  I have 2 friends with similar problems who are able to keep it under control with their lifestyles and drug therapy.

I'm so sorry, KOTT! :hug:

Much love and healing energy to you, and please don't leave us, we would like to know how you are. :heart:

the tumor breaks through the colon wall, infects the lymph nodes and malignant cells are carried to other parts of the body...the liver and lungs being the most common...once it spreads it is known as Stage IV and has a 5% survival rate. my doctor leveled with me and told me if it is stage iv that i will have about 6months left with no treatment, chemo make extend that to a year or more. but the 5 year survival rate is almost non-existent

try not to get down on yourself yet

I've had many friends/family go through this

I lost my father to it at age 6 - he was 40

I've also seen a good friend fight brain cancer for 7 years when the doc's told him he had days

this is part of life and is probably one of the biggest threats you will ever have to face

but you can win

know that you can win

Damn, dude. Look, I know we've had our differences in the past, but I never really hated you. In spite of all the teasing and all the flame wars and all that bullshit, I always believed that beneath it all, you really were a great guy. I'm sorry it had to come down to this. I was actually looking forward to meeting you at the next NE gathering, but now I don't know if you'll be able to make it. I really hope you pull through. In case I never get to meet you in person, I just want you to know you're cool in my book.

thanks man, we'll see how this goes

one thing, if you have any symptoms similar to mine, especially blood in your feces...get it checked out immediatly, colon cancer isnt just for old people. i am only 23 and i have NO family history...sometimes you just win the unlucky lottery

My grandma got cancer in her spine and the doctors told her that she had 6 months to live and a 5% chance of surviving.

She was optimistic throughout and changed her diet to a very healthy one and began exercising as much as she could and surrounded herself with positive people.

She survived.

sorry to read about this. just like everyone said, know that you have the power to beat this shit. I say explore. try to fight it with modern science. if it fails you, try looking for different healing techniques practiced...
try to be strong

i would ask a mod sticky this so all my friends have a chance to read it.
(i have discussed this with a few of you already)

Over the summer I started to have red blood in my bowel movements. I ignored it and passed it off as hemmoroids. About four weeks ago I began to have a dull ache in my lower left abdomen which spread up my left side. My bowel movements again contained blood and were much smaller than usual. I was into 3 different doctors and the emergency room. Finally I saw a gastrointestinal doctor and he ordered a colonoscopy. Today I found out that I have and advanced tumor in my lower colon. Even with treatment the prognosis is not looking good for me. I am in a state of numbness in shock. I don't know how much longer I have on earth. I am done posting, probably for good. I may stop back to check pms. However once I go in for surgery, Im not sure I'll have access to a computer again. THey think it has already spread to my lungs.

This IS NOT a joke or a hoax, this is deadly serious. Right now I'm crying pretty hard, and I never cry. I figure I'll get telling my online friends out of the way first.... I have no idea how I am going to hold it together to break it to my friends IRL.

thanks for putting up with me :kott:




I am so sorry hun. Please hang in there AND STAY POSITIVE. ! we are all here for you to support you when you need it.  :hug:

Did they say what caused it or anything else?

Wow, this is devastating. I've only been here for such a short time, but I do feel I've formed a bond with the community and its almost like family. Like a far away family that you cannot see or touch, but can only read. As geeky and strange as it sounds, it's very real.

I can't imagine what it must be like right now, but I do know there are probably some books out there could be use for this specific situation.

It goes without question that we all of love you and are here for you. I wish for the best, and you hope beat this stuff.

But STAY POSITIVE, damn it.
Fight this every step of the way.
Wake up tomorrow morning and start putting 100% of your focus on getting better.

You're one of my favorite posters here. We all love you.
If you start to get overwhelmed or upset, just sign on and we'll all cheer you up.

I'm so tempted to make goatse jokes right now, but I won't...

You'll beat this.

You read about shit like this and see it on TV, doesn't really affect you untill it happens to someone you know. I know we aren't uber close but you were always cool as fuck in my book. This is deffinatley a reality check. You'll live through this and appreciate life more, sometimes you can get a feeling of how reality will turn out.

I don't really know you, but no one should have to go through something like this. I'm sending love and healing energy to you right now, even if you don't believe it.

Cleansing one's mind of long-lingering guilt, grudges, or negative feelings has been known in anecdotal instances of sending tumors into remission. Even if you're a skeptic of such things, it wouldn't hurt to try. The power of the mind is stronger than most people think.

No matter how bad it seems, don't give up hope. There's always hope. My best wishes go out to you and your family.  :heart:

I know everyone here will be thinking about you man, so keep fighting and don't let fucked up bullshit like this keep you down.

You are in my thoughts. Fight this and win. People do care about ya. I hope to see you around for a long time,until later....bye.

I don't think we've ever spoken personally, but I have always enjoyed reading your posts.  I'm so sad to hear of this.  As said, never give up hope for the future.  :heart:

Don't stress about death.

It's as natrual as living, if you can understand and feel that it will help you out some.

Mental stress will make physical healing thougher.

You'll pull through.

wow.. man. i can't even being to explain how much sympathy i'm feeling for you right now. i know we haven't ever really talked much on here, but you're pretty well known in OTD and i've always thought you're a pretty cool dude.

anyways.. i know it's dumb to make this sympathy post even though i don't really know you, but i really hope you get better. you're a young guy (if i remember right) with a horrible misfortune called cancer that i will someday probably aquire. it's hard not to feel sorry as fuck for you.

take care, KOTT. you will be missed. please let us know if things get better with you.

KoTT, you'll be with us for many more years, my ma'am maw has been fighting
different cancers for 40 years, she's been 50 years old for almost that long.
you are young, healty and strong... if she can, you will do much better.

she is almost 90 now and she has just been hospitalized again, she says its
still not her time, she wont stop living her life just because a doctor told
her something, you also havent reached your time and you shouldn't let it interfere with yours.

Whatever you do, don't accept the doctor's prognosis as fact. It is one doctor's opinion. Many people have received similar news and went on to outlive their doctors. Your mental attitude can play a big part in the outcome so keep your spirits up no matter what!

Kott... Just take the precious One-moment that you live Life in, always have lived in, and always will.. and envelope yourself in it. Surrender to the moment, and all that it encompasses. Alchemically transform this suffering & sickness into enlightenment... so if & when the time comes for you to go, you will have lived fully, and completely - regardless of the circumstances.
You cannot lose your life - you don't have a life.

You ARE Life.

I had a similar experience with a friend who went through a life-threatening illness. Needless to say, you must accept what comes your way, and deal with it accordingly. I'm sure you will discover things about life in ways that some of us will never witness. All in all, this experience will make you stronger. I wish for the best.

That's a god damn shame man, my aunt is in chemo right now for the same thing, colon cancer that spread. Even though I don't know you, we're all still a part of the same community here, and it's a sad thing to have something like this happen to one of your own. For what it's worth my thoughts are with you.

i would ask a mod sticky this so all my friends have a chance to read it.
(i have discussed this with a few of you already)

Over the summer I started to have red blood in my bowel movements. I ignored it and passed it off as hemmoroids. About four weeks ago I began to have a dull ache in my lower left abdomen which spread up my left side. My bowel movements again contained blood and were much smaller than usual. I was into 3 different doctors and the emergency room. Finally I saw a gastrointestinal doctor and he ordered a colonoscopy. Today I found out that I have and advanced tumor in my lower colon. Even with treatment the prognosis is not looking good for me. I am in a state of numbness in shock. I don't know how much longer I have on earth. I am done posting, probably for good. I may stop back to check pms. However once I go in for surgery, Im not sure I'll have access to a computer again. THey think it has already spread to my lungs.

This IS NOT a joke or a hoax, this is deadly serious. Right now I'm crying pretty hard, and I never cry. I figure I'll get telling my online friends out of the way first.... I have no idea how I am going to hold it together to break it to my friends IRL.

thanks for putting up with me :kott:

i would like to thank ALL of you for your kind words and pm. i am heading back to the hospital now, hopefully its not to hear more bad news. ive been doing a lot of thinking and am trying to get a handle on things. i have decided to accept chemo if it is offered and possibly enroll in a clinical trial of a new test medicine. people with poor prognosis participate in the trials to help future generations. i figure if i indeed have to leave this earth that i might as well do something beneficial to mankind with myself. since so many of you have asked i will try to stop back with my condition, as long as i am not too weak to use a pc. right now im in a tremendous amount of pain , im not sure what the next step is :frown:

just let me stress once more, if you have any symptoms, get yourself checked out, colon cancer is not just an old man's disease. do no ignore symptoms for months as i did. who knows i may have been able have this caught earlier. colorectal cancer is gaining on lung cancer as the deadliest cancer in the US, it is important to educate yourself. i believe the the exact figure is 1 in 20 americans will develop this in their lifetimes....

So sorry to hear that! May you not be in pain and enjoy every moment of your mortal life. I'm a Christian, and I'll pray for you. My brother came back from traveling abroad with similar symptoms, but it was a nasty virus and not a tumor. He was basically in the same boat, but after lots of doctor visits he will now live a pretty normal life with the aid of a daily medication.

I'll continue to enjoy your mortal company, and when it's all over, be it days or years, I'll see you on the other side :sun:

i do agree with you that people should educate themselves on colon cancer.

a month ago i found out a family friend of ours, she's only in her late 30s, has a small child and happily married with a great and successful practice was diagnosed with colon cancer. she was complaining of stomach pains and when she went to the doctor they had said they needed to operate on her ASAP and that it appeared that the cancer had spread. Right now she's undergoing chemo and her fate is still uncertain. it has come to a shock to all of us, friends and family...but needless to say, support is important during times like these and for sure you'll have it here.

Your ticket to AZ and the costs incurred while here for the gathering will be taken care of if you decide you want to surround yourself with friends and immerse yourself in love.

Just let me know KOTT so I can make the purchase.

Good luck to you in your fight.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I dont think your time is up yet though, so please hang in there. you'll be in my thoughts and in the hearts of shroomerites everywhere.

You've got a battle ahead of you my friend, but you CAN beat this. You need to rely on the support of your friends and family right now, and also be strong for them...because trust me, they are also hurting and in shock as well.

Don't give up the fight dude.

i would ask a mod sticky this so all my friends have a chance to read it.
(i have discussed this with a few of you already)

Over the summer I started to have red blood in my bowel movements. I ignored it and passed it off as hemmoroids. About four weeks ago I began to have a dull ache in my lower left abdomen which spread up my left side. My bowel movements again contained blood and were much smaller than usual. I was into 3 different doctors and the emergency room. Finally I saw a gastrointestinal doctor and he ordered a colonoscopy. Today I found out that I have and advanced tumor in my lower colon. Even with treatment the prognosis is not looking good for me. I am in a state of numbness in shock. I don't know how much longer I have on earth. I am done posting, probably for good. I may stop back to check pms. However once I go in for surgery, Im not sure I'll have access to a computer again. THey think it has already spread to my lungs.

This IS NOT a joke or a hoax, this is deadly serious. Right now I'm crying pretty hard, and I never cry. I figure I'll get telling my online friends out of the way first.... I have no idea how I am going to hold it together to break it to my friends IRL.

thanks for putting up with me :kott:

I am so glad you got better news. Thanks to this thread I am getting myself checked out as well because i experience some of the symptoms, and to put it bluntly, I never shit. Well I do but like, may be once a week. It is from all the different prescriptions I have been on since I was 11. Those things really fuck up your digestive track and the rest of you, that and I need to drink more water. So yea, I made a doctors appointment. Don't feel bad, you aren't the only one with a broken ass. :moon: :ass:

thank God,
great news KOTT

not to hijack this very personal thread but--
i for one am taking KOTT's advice and getting a colon screening...
my mother has Chron's disease ( a risk enhancer fo sho!) and i myself havent been feeling to right down there--possibly displaying a few of the symptoms of colon cancer ...reading KOTTS post actually gave me an anxeity attack

i thought about this for a long time but dont have health insurance
im only 27....but KOTTs 23!

guys get screened!
girls get your bf's and brothers and fathers to go to the hospital
i googled something earlier that i cant find right now but FREE SCREENINGS are
available in most states.

there was colon cancer awareness week last month (sept. 14-19) where many hospitals across this country offered free screenings. im gonna call one of the places around here and see if they couldnt give me one for cheap or free.


take care KOTT and everyone

Great news, KOTT.

Do your best to stay strong during the chemo.
Smoke lots of pot. Spend quality time with the people around you.
Sounds like you'll be in tip top shape again soon enough.

hang in there kott
you'll be alright
colon cancer runs rampant in my dad's side of the family, fortunately I am not related to them.  It has stricken every member of my family on my dad's side, from him on up.  My dad and aunt and uncle have had around half a dozen polyps removed each, my grandpa died from it before he turned 60, and my grandma is being treated for some nasties right now.  You're lucky to find out so early.  As we become more knowledgeable about it, we are able to detect and treat earlier.  Plus there is a lot of biotech work being done on cancer.  Take good care of yourself and don't smoke cigs.  Eat lots o greens n salads n metamucil, etc. 
be strong

I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

Dude that sucks about your ass. I hope and pray the treatments work well for you, also you might want to look into some healthy(er) diet? and herbal remedies as a possible supplement to healing? It couldn't hurt. Either way I send you healing rays of light and hope you can overcome this.

I think you mean 180 :wink:

In all seriousness that is just fantastic to hear. I was really bummed when I read what you were going through. I can't imagine how relieved you must be. Here's to a  healthy recovery.  :cheers:

The very nature of experience is ineffable; it transcends cognitive thought and intellectualized analysis. To be without experience is to be without an emotional knowledge of what the experience translates into. The desire for the understanding of what life is made of is the motivation that drives us all. Without it, in fear of the experiences what life can hold is among the greatest contradictions; to live in fear of death while not being alive.

It's truly fantastic to see that everything has worked out for you friend. I barely know you but from what I HAVE seen you're a truly awsome guy and it seems that karma just made a little mistake but then fixed itself.
