    I am currently, NED. First
    I am currently, NED. First diagnosed in 2004, liver resection. 5yrs clear, than mets to liver. liver resection and chemo. i think 1 year clear, then another met to liver. another resect and 8 months of xeloda. ended in nov. 2010. so far so good. a pet scan scheduled for july,13.
    I don't keep track of all the chemo and dates. it's written down and i grab the info when i need it. I get through what i have to do and then move on. I am terrible with dates anyway.
    The bottom line is, i feel great, am living my life and enjoying every minute.
    good luck to you.
    Hugs,
    Judy
    edit: Lord i feel dumb. i/ we are so anxious to help, I/we never read date

    There is nothing worse......

    Than answering a post to those that are deceased.

    This is an old, old thread....... Please check dates before responding?

    Best wishes,

    John

    I'm a little confused...
    as to how the first poster came across this thread in the first place, leading to the rest of us jumping in? Although I do think there may be a FEW things that are "worse" than mistakenly commenting on an old post! Bubonic plague, for starters...Ann

    Agree on Confusion!
    I did the same thing you did. Read the posts of all the folks diagnosed Stage IV in '06 and '07 and kind of rejoiced at all the "long term" survivors until I saw when the thread originated. I hope they're all still hanging in there and fighting the good fight but it took me a bit to get all straigtened out like you did.

    old post
    i hear you there...

    I read the first 10 posts... and got all pumped up and excited.
    but, as i finally looked at the dates, I began to think and pray for all those old posters... knowing that some of them are no longer with us.

    What an emotional 20 minutes.

    I wish the best for all who are fighting this horrible battle.

    STAY EXCITED AND PUMPED UP!!
    I'm still here....over 10 yrs clear from Stage 4....DON'T LOSE HOPE!

    Yes, Bud, the original author of this thread is no longer here. I have no clue who pulled it back up after so many years. Bud was awesome and I'm sure he's looking down, proud that he can still be heard after so many years!!

    Best wishes to those still strong in the battle...my heart goes out to you!

    Thanks for the inspiration!
    Your posts give hope that we newly and veterans diagnosed Stage IV's can have hope for quality of and life extension with all we we do and deal with, be it surgeries, chemo, radiation, etc., family issues.

    It amazes me the courage so many have and what they/we face each day or from test to treatment to being in the moment.

    Thank you for sharing.
