First NED

Finally, today I got back the last result from my last test, the follow-up colonoscopy. The gastro doc had snipped one polyp and today I got the word that it's benign so officially NED as of today, just more than 1 year following my colectomy and resection. I think there will be wine with dinner tonight. Cool

 

This does NOT mean that I plan to disappear from the board. I like this place and I still have an interest in learning more about the long-term effects of my treatment.

    Thanks, everyone

    Thank you, everyone, for the good wishes. The wine was VERY good - that is to say, it tasted full of celebration. I am feeling almost lighthearted today, which seems very new. It's starting to sink in just how low I felt over the last several months.

    Which all leads me to think about starting a new discussion. Back soon.

     

    PS - Can anyone tell me why some of my posts end up being centered vertically rather than aligned at the top of the text box?

    Appear fine to me

    You text appears normal to me. Maybe its your computer. 

    So glad that you are NED. Go shout it from the house-tops.
