You and countless others have gifted me so much these last two years sending me good wishes, love and healing energy as I have navigated my way on a very interesting journey with cancer, (see below for a brief update) that I want to gift you something in return.

Hi Everyone,

You may recall, assuming you were on our list In May of 2015, that I was diagnosed with rectal cancer on May 20th of that year. With your help, sending me loads of healing energy as requested in my first “My Ass Is On the Line,” email of May 26th, 2015, I was pronounced . . .

Two reports came out today here in England that I found both interesting and frustrating.

The first one concerned the extremely high number of teenagers were either clinically depressed or were on the edge of being so.

Health Update

As promised, I have been restricting my cancer treatment updates just to the Facebook group we created for that purpose, called Colin’s Wellness Journal. However, several people have contacted us to say they don’t have a Facebook account. So, I thought everyone might find this particular interview interesting.

I mentioned in my last update about ‘what I don’t have’ in my colon, that my oncologist may ask me to be part of the hospital’s integrative program for healing cancer. Right after that I saw this and thought you might like it.

It appeared on the Christian Broadcasting News website. What it says, of . . .

My Ass is No Longer on the Line

I had a meeting with the surgeon Tuesday, the 2nd. Things look pretty good. As you know if you read my last e-mail, the big worry was that the tumor was too near the anal sphincter muscle. It was, therefore, likely they would have to take that . . .
