Year
of 2005: ----------------------------------- May 2005: ----------------------------------- June: And the doctor could not understand how I could even be walking, much less working out at the gym! He ordered a blood transfusion. Severe anemia. Iron pills and multi-vitamins. Don't forget the two pints of blood. I also suffered an infection during the transfusion. Endoscopy was negative. ----------------------------------- July to mid-August 2005: Doctors approved my vacation to FL and planned for a colonoscopy to further research a cause for my severe anemia soon after I get back home. ----------------------------------- August 23: ----------------------------------- August 29: Biopsy results -- malignant. Diagnosis: Colon Cancer. Next week: Barium enema x-ray in search for more unusual growth(s) beyond the known tumor followed by a hemicolectomy (removal of partial colon) the following week. ----------------------------------- Sept. 19: ----------------------------------- Sept. 23: ----------------------------------- Sept. 25: -----------------------------------
