I too had colon cancer and had about a foot of colon removed two years ago. 100 percent successful and I am a new man, knock on wood and the hands of a great doctor [Dr. Josh Pierce] my hero. I remember waking up after the procedure [better after than during I always say] hooked up to all sorts of things. After a day had gone by Josh came to check and ask, “how are you feeling?” Great, when can I go home? Any time that you feel well enough to, was his response. I was hooked up to a “pee tube” and asked the doc if I could take this thing home with me. He said he never had anyone ask him that before and most asked when can it be removed, but OK sure, but why? I said that I drink a lot of beer, as you know and have to keep having the driver find restrooms but this thing would eliminate that problem. He shook his head, laughed and left the room. The next day he gave me some beer.
