Hi all, I'm at the two year point and so far, so good. I had a follow-up with my oncologist on Friday and he said all looks good so he "graduated" me from 4 month visits to 6 month visits. I guess I should be ecstatic...my wife is. But I don't seem to feel that way. I'm feeling a bit more guardedly optimistic. As a recap and for the new folks-- Howard |

G'day Howard,
Congratulations mate. My surgeon always described the first 18 mos as the danger period. Having said that he also kept telling me I wasn't out of the woods yet right up to the 5 years. All the best for Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.

Howard -
The news is wonderful! That said, I can understand how you feel - that "sword" is always hanging over our necks and even when we are mostly positive, it is hard to ignore completely. I think the ironic thing is that very positive anniversaries tend to bring these scary feelings to the forefront.
So, your negative feelings are normal. But in another day or two, hopefully, you will have less concern. Two years is great news for any stage CRC - two years for Stage II is REALLY good news.
Celebrate! (Where is Kathi with the naked happy dance advice?)

Congrats! Enjoy. Today is my one year mark from dx and I believe I can say NED but waiting until my next onc visit in Feb before I start dancing. At least there is no sign of the beast that I know of.

Hi Howard,
Just starting out for us - husband had surgery on Dec 14th, diagnosed stage 2a - still recovering from "zipper" surgery. As mentioned in another message, next step is to make the chemo decision.
Hope I will be posting a message like yours in 2008.
Congrats and keep up the good fight.
