3 hrs into my first (of 2) PURG-ODAN treatments... so far, so good.
Have gone to the washroom 3 times but really no worse than I used to get when I was drinking and had "hung one on" the night before. Probably a lot like the "clean" phase of a A-RX treatment ....

You are wise to have a colonoscopy done. It saved my life. At age 53, the doctors found a malignant tumor, removed it and a foot of my colon, found signet cell, mucinous, adenocarcenoma, Stage 3C appediceal cancer and 4 malignant lymph nodes. Had 6 months of 9 sessions of 48 hour chemo. Was given a 7% survival rate for 5 years. With surgeries, chemo and 1 year, 4 months later, my survival rate is now 30% for 5 years. No signs of cancer per post chemo colonoscopy, blood tests, bone marrow tests and CT scan. If it was detected a month later, it might have been too late... Life is back to normal.

So are you using a SuperTech filter for this phase or what?
If the video makes it to YouTube, I don't want to see it, just so you know (I appropriated a Bill Engvall bit for that one).
I had an endoscopy a couple of years ago, not exactly the same, but it still involved tubing going somewhere I usually don't have it. The last thing I remember was the anesthesiologist asking if my sister was a doctor (she's a pharmacist and asked some very pointed questions about the drugs he was planning to use) and then I was waking up with the doctor giving post-procedure instructions to her.

I recommend going filter-less in the cleaning phase, or things could get ugly..

My post isn't scarier than yours, WW, just scary in a different way.

I agree. Bill in Utah, where are you when we really need you! Just kidding of course!

Hospital appointment is 12:00pm Wednesday... I'm going to be 2 days without food. That's getting to be the hardest part.

Let us, or better don't let us know when your 3 hrs in to your second PURG-ODAN treatment.
And good luck tomorrow. Nothing to it.

I'm back !! All went well. Thanks to everyone for their encouragement.
Tim,
I don't see how anything can return to normal after what you went through. I hate the percentage formulas they give out. It alway's seems like the blade that will kill you is hanging by a string. And you don't know when the string is going to break....Are you doing any life altering diets or therapy that is making a difference in how you view the cancer that almost took your life?

LargeCarManX2, thank you for your concern.
I've ridden motorcycles all my life. So I've always gotten used to the idea I could go anytime. I am also a Christian and know that a better eternal life is ahead. I have no financial worries for myself or my family. My wife and I are having a great retirement and pretty much can do what we want when we want. I have great family and friends support. If I didn't have all of these things, I might be a nervous wreck and "woe is me". People that know me tell me my positive attitude and outlook is my greatest weapon against cancer. I think it is more likely the prayers that have been sent and answered.
I am trying to improve my survival odds. I exercise more, eat less red meat, and eat more fruit and vegetables. I listen to my doctors and do as I'm told. My goal is to live and see my son graduate from college in May. I am likely to make that so have stretched it to see him get a good start in life with a good job and a good woman by his side. Hopefully that will take place this year or next. Life is good and maybe better since I have/had cancer. I appreciate life more. Anyone going thru cancer should read Lance Armstrong's book, "Live Strong". He survived incredible odds and was a better athlete after cancer than before. And I hope a better person.
