I'd like to meet:
Katie Couric, because she does so much to help further the cause for colon cancer. Lance Armstrong too. Also, any other colon cancer survivors! Especially any my age. I have not met very many at all. One more, any CCA members at all.....

About my friends:
I would love to have as many friends as I can. I welcome friends, caregivers, parents, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, or anyone else touched by colon cancer.I want my top friends to be other people with colon cancer or touched by colon cancer. I will do as many as I can, and I may have to rearrange often. So don't be offended if you are there one day and gone the next. You will be back!
One more thing.... Check out some of the organizations that are new to our friend list. There are several good organizations on here that are working to raise awareness and money in different parts of the country!
The following poem was written by one of our friends on this page, Anne. I think it is wonderful and moving. It explains my feelings in a way I cannot.
I'M NOT DONE YET~ by passionartist//Annie
“I’m not done yetâ€, she cried, when the mass was first detected.
“I’m not done yetâ€, she pleaded, yet her prayers felt utterly rejected.
“I’m not done yetâ€, was her mantra when the doctors said stage four
“I’m not done yetâ€, she pronounced as the poison flowed through her port.
“I’m not done yetâ€, she smiled to fend off looks of genial, yet unwanted pity.
“I’m not done yetâ€, she silently screamed as they whispered “such a shame, she was so pretty".
“I’m not done yetâ€, she echoed to an unforgiving night.
“I’m not done yet†once the sunrise baptized her with its rejuvenating light.
“I’m not done yetâ€, while the cure ensued ~was the treatment worse than the disease.
“I’m not done yetâ€, she rejoiced as she beat the all the odds~ in miracles she began to believe.
“I’m not done yetâ€, she sobbed, embracing the pain, waging war upon the fear.
“I’m not done yetâ€, she sulked when her body became a stranger in the mirror.
“I’m not done yetâ€, she chanted as another night’s sleep unsympathetically passed her by.
“I’m not done yetâ€, she lied to herself~ preparing for her final good-bye.
“I’m not done yetâ€, she whispered, terrified and yet strong as the surgeon sharpened his knife
“I’m not done yetâ€, she renounced, as she woke once again and thanked God for sparing her life.
“I’m not done yetâ€, she sung as her journey waged on, she was never alone, surrounded by love and by friends.
I’M NOT DONE YET, YOU SEE, AND I WILL NEVER BE….
AND I’LL FIGHT TO THE VERY END!
I have not heard from Annie in a very long while. I received a few updates on her condition this summer, right before my own surgery, but since then, nothing. If you have any information, or know how to contact her, please let her know that I still think of her every day.
Myspace Poems & Quotes ..Does anyone know where I can find a picture or video of the Polypman? Remember, he used to do commercials for the ACS? I loved those commercials and want him on the page, but I can't find him. --UPDATE-- A member did forward me some cool polyp man stuff, but I have not taken the time to add it yet. Watch for that soon. Still would love to have video of any of the old polypman commercials, where the doctors chase him. Any youtube geniuses out there that can swing this??? Thanks
