Colorectitude

I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2010 and kept a blog called Colorectitude as a way to document the experience and keep friends and family informed on my condition. I’ve migrated Colorectitude’s posts here and grouped them into sections, combined some of the shorter pieces to save on the reading time.

  • Diagnosis
  • Surgery
  • Stupid Ideas I’ve Had About Cancer
  • Ostomy Days
  • Takedown & Recovery
  • Getting On With Life

Spoiler: I’m still alive.
