Randy's Cancer Journal

Randy was diagnosed with Stage III rectal cancer on March 10, 1986. He underwent surgery 8 days later that removed a softball sized tumor, his rectum and lower portion of his colon, resulting in a permanent colostomy. I hope your find comfort and hope in the raw, unedited feelings that made it to the pages of my cancer survival journal. Randy's journal entries from diagnosis through surgery, radiation therapy and recovery to 12 weeks post-op.
