congrats Mojo.
I am glad you caught it early and got rid of the cancer.
I treat reports the same way, i really want to know the facts and the less abstract the better for me, although sometimes more painful.
good to have you back.

Hi, Morris,

I’m glad to know that you on the road to full health.

I can relate to your attempts to make this “real”. But I was fighting in the other direction — denial.

I was diagnosed with colon cancer in early 2000, with no symptoms other than the wrong color on the occult blood test. My first reaction was “This can’t be happening to me! Cancer is for old people.”

I’ve since learned much better. But it was many months before I could say “I had cancer”. I would say “I had a cancerous tumor.” Eventually I could bring myself to use the C-word in first person.

It’s real.

Mojo, i just learned of your diagnosis and operation through Jane’s “Moondance” email. I was, of course, shocked at the news but relieved to know all is well and you are on the mend. Best Wishes to your speedy and full recovery! We’ll see you at a future OTSA event in Monorovia. And, lest I forget, happy birthday!

Mojo, so very glad to read the news AND the details. Your report has made me feel a lot better, not just for you, but for me! How selfish, I know, but it’s just a matter of time and your experience will be in mind always.

Mojo,

I remember when I received my first digital exam a few decades ago from a not very pleasant GP. As he began the exam, and greased up the rubber glove, I think I heard him mumble “take THAT!”.

Have fun this weekend in Vegas. As my dear sister Mary Lou used to say when a family member or friend might need a little extra warmth, “I’ll tenderly hold you in my heart and mind these next few days”. Know that, for many of us, Mojo, you are being “tenderly held”.

Our love,

Alan and Barbara

Hi Mojo,
Happy birthday, happy anniversary (as I remember what a beautiful, warm, FUN wedding you two had) and we are sending good thoughts as you have robotic surgery. Will you look the same except for bionic eyes?

You’re right, I had been reading about the loose correlation between PSA and a positive biopsy. In my case of course it was the only indication.

And yep, they’re kegels. I don’t think that makes me a kegler.
