Doing the Happy Dance

in Colorectal Cancer #1

Ok, there have been a few people posting fantastic news about their longevity on here which is fantastic. I know I have a ways to go yet before I can join that club, but I think I have maybe one step along that pathway that I wanted to share.

I got  a call from my Dr yesterday and the results of my CAT scan came back all clear. Since the end of my treatment, I now have one clear PET scan and one clear CAT scan. Needless to say at my house we were doing the happy dance yesterday. From a stage 4 to a clear CAT scan is a good day in my books! I know there is a lot of forest left before I'm out of the woods, but one clear scan is a good start.

I thought I would start a happy dance thread for anyone else who would like to share a small victory too. Everything counts where cancer is concerned.

Hope you all have an amazing day too!

Thomas

    Latest liver surgery

    ALLl biopsies were negative for cancer.!!!!   Talk about an over read scan!!    No one could guarantee me what the scans were saying so I decided to proceed with surgery rather than wait the whole summer with this hanging over my head     So I'm happy dancing too.

    Now   If I could only get rid of this terrible horrible very bad heart burn that has appeared out of nowhere.

    Congratulations! I to have

    Congratulations! I to have had I clear pet and 2 clear ct scans. Next scan in August. I was diagnosed stage 11B then the found distant metastasis in the pelvic lymph nodes. 3 rounds of xeloda and 1 1V  irinotecan seems to have done its job.

    Heartburn

    Hi PamRav - I take pantolac 40mg daily for heartburn - also take first thing in the a.m. before eating. Helps a lot.  Tried to deal with heartburn with Tums, etc but not effective enough.  Good luck to you.
