Surprise! A new chapter...

Well, at 5:30 am on Friday, I was at work, feeling great, and suddenly I had to go to the bathroom. Halfway there, I noticed I leaked a little and it felt like the original time when there was blood in 2008.

Sure enough, when I got to the bathroom, I was leaking a lot of blood out my bottom. I did what I could there, went back to my desk, clocked out, and went out the door, telling a co-worker I must leave for the day immediately.

I called Jeanah and asked her to meet me at St. Vincent's Emergency Room (about a 10 minute drive from work, 30 minutes from home).

Long story short (I'll give the long version later) the cancer is still there in my rectum and has moved around the circumference a little bit. We think this will definitely mean surgery to remove it.

For now, the bleeding has stopped and the doctors think I'm OK in the very short term but I plan to have surgery within the next week or maybe two. We will know more on Monday or Tuesday.

Please just pray for wisdom for us and the doctors as we discuss and confirm what the plan will be.

Love you all!
