I would like to thank the people who answered my discussion (feeling sorry for myself). I knew the suggestions, but sometimes I need to be told the truth. I do have stage III colon cancel, but
it is in the acending colon. We do run a small business (something I love to do) and intend to do some journaling. SO FOR TODAY EVERYTHING IS GOOD. Only thing I am having trouble with is keeping my pic line dry, we are eating a lot of bread. So even my sense of humor is returning and that's a whole lot better, than a sense of doom.
THANKS AGAIN
REGIS

Re: Thanks

Hi Regis ann, In 1998 i was diagnosed with stage 3 ,undifferentiated tumour(aggressive) with 6 of 13 nodes cancerous. I had a year of chemo. I went to my surgeon yesterday. I am no longer in remission. After five years and three ms. I have been declared totally cancer free and CURED!!! Just thought I'd pass on my little piece of news so you can set a goal to aim for,may you have the same good fortune as me ,kindest regards Ron.

Re: Thanks

Hi Ron,
I was also diagnosed with Stage III and hade my last treatment last September 2002. So far so good with tumor marker test. Occassionally, I have rash/irritation around my colostomy where the adhesive is touching the skin area, any suggestions on prevention?. You have been a lot of encouragement to me and I hope to say the same thing five years from now, cured and totally cancer free forever!!.

Cheers,
noel
