Thank you - to answer one of your responses - I accepted Christ many years ago and walk in His truth. Thanks for that positive advice -
This is all early stage and I don't understand the underlying issues right now - I will update as I learn more.

Since I can't sleep, thanks to all.
I am 47 and really quite healthy otherwise.
They are talking surgery and chemotherapy. Emory was suggested because it is close to us (I live in upstate SC). This is strange because I had my yearly physical and for the first time had the dreaded prostate exam - nothing abnormal at the time.
I will say the doctors are moving fast with this whole thing. I have an appointment with the oncology specialists to tomorrow (I guess today). This group is pretty well respected here so we are optimistic. My significant other has spent a majority of her day reassuring me and researching the issue - I guess she is as scared as me right now.
Depending on the doctors reaction today surgery may be scheduled as early as next week - we will see
Anyway - thanks to all for the kind words and encouragement. It may seem strange to reach out to a group of people you do not know, but there are thousands here and I knew seine had something to offer - amitch

Persistent gastric pain and issues in the bathroom - went for an exam, colonoscopy and boom.
For all the mess I see on these boards I really appreciate the responses and encouragement.
Ps looking at Emory University

It is in the early stages and I sort of zoned out after hearing the diagnosis. Thank God my wife seas there - she has been researching and on the phone all day getting things set up.
Thanks for the positive thoughts

Very bad news today
Posted by amitch11 on 11/5/15 at 10:50 pm
Have been informed I have colon cancer and must begin treatment immediately including surgery.
I am pretty numb and, well, scared. Has anyone else been through this and maybe offer advice? Thanks - amitch

Of course Dabo would never leave Clemson for Bama, why would he? The beautiful lakes, the nearby mountain ranges, the nationally known brand - what could Bama ever offer him?
Right Jamie, right? Silly inbred tater

Clemson has two voters on the committee - let's see where you are on 12/6/15. If you're lucky you can win out and take part in the Death Valley pizza party Dabo has promised

This guy isn't trolling, trust me. EVERY Clemson fan thinks the exact same way as him. He is regurgitating the party line. Don't try to present facts or reasonable discussion with such a beast. Truth be told any attempt at rational discussion with he or any other Clemson fan is like pissing against the wind - just let it go
re: What would Bama look like with Dabo?

Why do you guys feel the need to humor this guy? A grown man (I guess) who uses lol every other scentence needs to be strictly ignored.

I believe the 70's and 80's are the golden era of college football. Keith Jennings "whoa Nellie", ap national champions, blue chip recruits (no star system), listening to the games on the radio since only one maybe two games per week were televised. Maybe I'm just getting old

Not at all - been around Carolina football all my life. Class of '90 - sat through 0-21. Has nothing to do with Gamecovk football BUT the college football atmosphere as a whole.
I do appreciate those who at least tried to discuss -
It's funny to read some of the replies here - I am 47 years old and have been in the Gamecock culture all my life so, in essence, I am familiar with the suckage as it has been put.
My issue is the thrill, excitement, electricity of a college gameday experience simply no longer exists. It's all about big money

When did college football stop being fun?
Posted by amitch11 on 11/3/15 at 12:30 pm
College football no longer has that electric feel from the past - where the excitement came from pride in your university. Now it seems the college football experience is nothing more than a multi billion dollar feeder industry for the nfl.
Coaches are larger than the university. Look at Spurrier. He held the football program hostage answerable to no one and left on his terms; terms which has crippled the SCAR program for the foreseeable future. Va Tech, FSU during the Bowden era, Penn State with Joe Pa- the list goes on and on.
So what has happened? Assistant coaches paid more than tenured professors. Television contracts?
I don't know - what I do know is college football has lost it's way

I am hoping this is a joke - like this is a after school improv comedy club at its first meeting, right?

For the love of all which is holy please stop responding to the intelligent tater. Reasoning with it is like pissing against the wind.
If you hate bicyclists come to Greenville, SC - you will vent your spleen. They dress up in their bicycle uniforms and take over the main roads, especially during rush hour. I hate those fricks
