Everyone gets bad news at some point. After my husband died that year I needed to take care of me and thus went and had a colonoscopy and then found out that I needed surgery to get rid of a polyp. She was not able to remove it all. I had a colon resection done I woke up from surgery on the cancer ward. So I inquired I have cancer then? No the nurse said you have been placed here because we ran out of rooms I quickly got out of bed as soon as possible that day and got hooked up to IV pole , catheter intact, extra gown on and went for a walk. I did so well I was released early from the hospital in another day I believe. Anyway it wasn’t until the report came back from the pathologist and I was given the news from the doctor at my follow up visit that I had cancer. However , it was almost not cancer in that it was the earliest form that anyone could of had. They caught it right away. I never had to have any treatments. You have to think positive which I did from the time I knew I had to have the surgery. I had later found out that i had relatives that had colon cancer. I had never known that before that my Great Aunt had died of it. Lucky that they had found it when they did and so far so good. I have to get rechecked ever so often. I have had a pre-cancer surgery years ago that has still turned out good. You have to think positive through it all. If you think negatively that energy will be there and you don’t need it to be there with you. I think it is always better to know than not know.
