of all the places to hurt - I am a positive person. As I mentioned in my post above, I did think I was going to die when I first got my cancer diagnosis. I did go through a period of time when that's all I could think of. I've been through all of the recommended treatments and now all I can do is live as healthy as possible and hope it doesn't come back - and live my life!
Just when I thought I could live my life (the end of my radiation) - I realize my hemorrhoid is really an anal fissure. And boy does this thing take over your life! But I am doing what needs to be done and if I need yet another surgery, so be it. Can't live with this forever, that's for sure.
