    hey semis!

    Dx'ed 8/6/01 (two days after the 9year anniversary of my sister's death from intestinal cancer)

    Stage III sigmoid colon cancer 2/19 lymph pos zero mets

    Age: 39

    Wife, mother of 5, youngest 20 months old and still nursing.

    Successful resection no bag thank god.

    Decided to heal/cure my dang cancer with Alternatives after watching sister, grandfather, aunt all die of various cancers post chemo/rads. Was MORE scared of the chemo than the cancer. No lie.

    Started researching like a woman on a mission and did major diet changes, (macrobiotics), juicing (3 qts/day) added supplements and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

    Resolved toxic relationships. Grew bold and courgageous to speak up and out. Hung onto Jesus for life. Quit feeling guilty for not going to church and went canoeing instead. Started doing yoga again.

    Hung out in the CSN Chatroom nightly until the new computer system booted me off (still can't figure out how to reconfigure my system...).

    Ended up spending my time on the boards instead and nagging everyone about no sugar and more veggies.

    Celebrated my FOUR years of NED in august and NO CHEMO!!!!.

    To date: 4 yrs 3 months NED!!!

    have met so many wonderful semi-colons on here over the years. Love you all.

    peace, emily who is totally bummed she didn't see this post until today which is waaaay after the party is over. dang.
