in Colorectal Cancer #1

I was diagnosed 3 years ago today stage IV Rectal cancer.  I never thought I would still be alive.  My twin boys were 14 and now they are 17 and graduating high school next month and starting college in a June.  I have twin grand babies girls that are 10 months old and never thought I see grandchildren.  I am happy to be NED but still think of cancer every day.  A lot of the people that were on here 3 years ago are gone.  It's so hard to not feel guilty and think why them and not me.  I still read here everyday and hope we can all get the best trestment and best outcome.

    Congratulations on so many fronts.

    NED.

    Seeing your twins graduate. 

    Being a Grandparent.

    What wonderful blessings, albeit having travelled a rough road these past few years. 

    Here's to many, many more. How about seeing those twin grandchildren graduate, eh.

    Congrats Sandy!  I'm so happy

    Congrats Sandy!  I'm so happy you are doing well and seeing all of these milestones reached!  

    try to push any guilty feelings far from your mind.  It's not like you are taking someone else's survival away by surviving yourself.  I think it's safe to say that anyone that has passed from this disease would cheer on any survivors.  Relax and enjoy life!  

    Wishing you many more healthy years.

    Wonderful news and thanking you for sharing that.  Wow twins in the family twice - you are three times blessed as two sets of twins plus being NED - you are truly fortunate.

    Go Sandy, go Sandy.  I don't

    Go Sandy, go Sandy.  I don't think of cancer every day anymore and I sincerely wish that on you this year.  It's the best feeling in the world.
