Geez, Im so sorry you had to go thru all that. How are you doing? Im still, lol, crazed from what I was put thru.

Hi, don't worry too much about being a buzzkill. I've been one since the 1960s-- IBS. I cannot eat foods that are hot. I have to wait for it to cool down or be in great pain or even the ER. For some reason this wouldn't post. A person can't even say Please- no ice water, just room temp water please---The waiters freak out and try to argue with you. Spain is the only place, where they say, OK and get me room temp water. I tell people- do you want me sick or what? if someone keeps asking you and they are not cooking the meal---Tell them that you don't want to get sick. I find it much worse to be in the ER doubled up and having explosive diarrhea. I tell them that too.

Survivor 215,
I joined the whatnext group fairly recently and really enjoy it so far. I just wanted to say hello to you as I was raised in Chesterton Indiana until I moved away as an adult. I hope that things are going relatively well for you at this time. I just wanted to let you know that it was exciting for me to come across a member of whatnext that is from an area that I still count as "home" I hope that you are having a good day today.

Good for you! I wish you a completely cancer free forever, survivor215!

Is anyone from Rhode Island?

Thanks so much, Cathy, it's my fourth surgery since 2009 and I am taking a trip to visit my family and friends then off to MDA Houston on July 10th for the procedure/tests. Some anxiety so taking Xanax to sleep
