Hi Tim: I want to sincerely thank you for being the driving force behind my colorectal exam. (I am very fortunate and had excellent results on my screening today, no polyps). If it were not for you sharing your experiences and stressing the importance of screening I would have just kept on putting it off, and off, and off. Let us ALL spread the word that this routine exam really can, and does, save Lives...(It also provides you with a Peace of Mind).

Thank you so much. Craig -- Long Island, NY

I try to bring some cheer. Some know they are on their way out and have come to terms with it. Some don't and those I find are the most difficult situations to deal with. I am glad you have brought the reality of colon cancer out in the open and are making those of us watching your videos, aware of the dangers of not getting thorough physicals. TY

Thank you TY for your support. I've just posted a new video called "Episode 02: Get Screened" on YouTube and am going to start posting them on MySpace as well. Thank you for all the good courageous work you are doing. Respectfully, Tim

This was very emotionally touching to watch. I work in an independant seniors retirement home and know some of my residents are getting chemo or radium treatments for various cancers and it's very difficult to not break down in front of them.

Thank you.

What you are doing is VERY important. I don't have a history of this particular cancer in my family (but there is just about every other kind of cancer, everybody in my parent's generation including each of them has had cancers). I am only 42 but the next time I see my doctor I am going to ask him about this.

Incredibly moving and emotional piece. Thank you Tim for doing this. If I had not scheduled my next c-scope a few days ago (I go on 1/12), I sure as sh*t would be calling the doctor right now to book it. THANK YOU and blessings to you. - Slobberdog

It's a brave new world when people step forward to share the hardships of their lives with others. We are all on this rollacoaster of life together and the more we share our experiences with others, both the good and the bad... the light and the dark... the more real our 'living' become. Thankyou Tim for offering yourself so bravely to what I see as a quest for truth, hope, healing and love!!! gdb

Yeah! Thank you for keeping my sights on being physically healed in the coming months and most of all for sharing your story with me and the rest of the subscribers. I've seen the good vistas ahead and look forward to more.

I been right there with you. I'm a 40 year old colorectal cancer survivor, now cancer-free, off meds, postradiation, post-chemo, and had my ileostomy closed 4 months ago. You're absolutely right that people need to do colonoscopy screening. It's truly worth saving more pain and trouble than you can imagine. Keeping strong and hanging on is the way to go. There are many good vistas to see ahead, beyond the trouble roads you're on now. Keep moving a day at a time.

Tim here (the guy in the video) So it was a rough night. I hope I don't sound like a whiner because a 'new day' and less pain has given me a more positive outlook. It is a roller coaster ride but I'm in it for the long haul. It's just a small glimpse of living with some of the after affects of colorectal cancer. Life is good! Most of the time. Thanks for your interest. Tim
