    In answer to the question about altering my lifestyle I have to admit I haven't. Always been inconsistent in exercise and diet.....I like a steak now and then, love my red wine, and don't hit the gym as often as recommended. But I also love fresh fish, playing with my children and laughing with my friends.
    Maybe those are counter balances....I don't know.
    It's what feels right for me.

    your good news
    Thank you for sharing your good news! I was diagnosed with stage 3 September 2011, did xeloda and radiation, surgery and xeloda again. Finished treatment Sept 2012. What a year but last CT and PET were clear. I plan to enjoy everyday, every minute, every second. I am counting my blessings and hope to someday be able to post good news as you have.

    THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

    I'm gearing up for my surgery

    I'm gearing up for my surgery which is in a month and some nights I'm up until 3am (like tonight).  I'm clinging to posts like this.  I am trying to think good thoughts but the nagging stage I to stage III in just 9 weeks but we're not sure if it was there or wasn't or what will be or what will not be takes its toll.  It's amazing how much of this is a guessing game even to doctors who deal with this all the time. Thanks for the post, it's very encouraging!!!
