Hi everyone...Just want to update you on my father. Background: Diagnosed with colon cancer in 2005. Had surgery to remove cancer, but then it showed up in liver; Had chemo for six months and cancer was completely gone. He has been NED for 3 1/2 years after his last chemo treatment. I remember his onc telling us that the cancer would definitely come back after about 6 months to a year after chemo. Now here we are 3 1/2 years later and the onc is now calling my dad his miracle patient.

I will never forget the day that my dad was diagnosed...we were all devastated. I truly was not sure how long my dad would be with us. Now, he is still here going stronger than ever!!!

I just wanted to post this to give all of you stage IV's hope. It is definitely possible to beat this. My dad is living proof!!! Prayers have gotten us through some tough times and I thank all of you who have prayed for me and my family over these past few years. Thank you Jesus!!!

God bless you all!!!

-Lee-

    So good to hear your dad is doing well. I hope he keeps doing well. It really is uplifting and give others hope. Also has he been doing anything different from when he was diagnosed. It is nice to know what others have been doing to keep from recurrence. All the best.
