I just got off the call with Dr. Johal (oncologist). He apologized to me for what I went through. He says it is hard to predict who will react that way. He went on to say that some people do well when they try again. I said “Well, that will not be me!! I am terrified of that drug and I will NOT go on it again.” He did understand. We agreed to start with fresh bloodwork and a CT Scan In the next couple of weeks and an appointment with him in early December. He will put together some options for me by then. He did say that the colitis should resolve itself and no become a chronic condition. The 2 polyps were benign. I am still waiting for a follow up with Dr. George (gastro guy). It sounds like I may need periodic colonoscopies going forward.

I have been home for 2 weeks and I still love the silence of home. I am working on my strength and stamina. It is improving slowly.
