Today, 1 year ago, husband had to check in into hospital. Holy cow, what a year this has been... Surgery on Nov 17th, tumor + 2 liver mets removed, temp. ileostomy, 6 months of chemo (Oxi + Xeloda), ileo reversal in July... you all know what turbulences this few words contain.

And this Monday CT... today appointment with Onc. HURRAY, all clear!!! CEA at 0.4 (was 95 before surgery and 0.8 in August). So, next check mid February! And (what is second best after NED) INDIA C U soon... on Dec 31th we will leave for 5 weeks travels in north India :-)

Thank you all for your support and information during that hard year, for all the research and wisdom here... and for being such wonderful people.

A BIG and HAPPY hug from Germany
