I was pg with my last son when i found out i had it. well really didn't know that was my first flair i had. 2006 is when i found out i had it.my son was born in 2004. So 2 years i was sick and loosing alot of weight. so in 2006 when i found out i had a carsnet tumer. sorry if spelled wrong. anyways they did surgrey cut out my some of small intestines and colon. cuz they thought i had cancer. so when the resualts came back they said i had crohns.. What is that so i was in denil for about 1 years.:stinks: Got on meds for couple of years well then i got really sick again well that was a long year going threw to much:stinks:

so in 2009 i went to diffrent docs u of m in ann arbor mi. they did another surgrey. They pulled a football size thing out of me. so if i have anymore i will have a bag on for the rest of my life. oh i am so getting thin now. dr said i was the worst he has seen in years. Out of 1 threw 10 not 1 but 2. But i smile and keep going for my kids. my oldest is 13 then 11 and my 7 year. so there is my story for now. :dance: Glad i found web site.
