Hi Everyone,
I have had my annual colonoscopy and semi-annual testing the last few weeks and am tickled pink (hi Lee) to still be dancing with that hunk NED (no evidence of disease). If you want to learn more about my 4 year journey fighting stage IV rectal cancer, read my personal web page here (I'll update it over the weekend). My oncologist was the most fun today ever and says he has no answers to any of my questions about why, how, or how long since we are now in "unchartered territory". I told him I didn't care what kind of territory I was in as long as NED was with me. He did tell one of the residences (it's a teaching hospital) that C squared helped me get to where I am today (chemo and carrots). I liked that and knew Emily would too.
I've been a little quiet lately just nervous about it all and will try to be more active again.
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!

Getting The Word out about Colorectal Cancer
How is it said? Be careful what you wish for?
I have been hoping to find a way to communicate and educate on the subject of colorectal cancer. Along with CaringBridge, I have been writing on my own blogspot as well as Blog For a Cure. My hope was the more I wrote, the more the subject would be "Googled" and my journey would be read and the message spread. This is not just a disease of the old!!!
It worked! The Montel Williams show contacted me today. A producer from the show ran across my story and found it inspiring. After a bit of discussion, I was invited to share my story. What a gift! **** and Eileen will be joining me and featured on the show as well. We head to New York next week for taping Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The show is focusing on leaving a legacy. Amazing, as that very subject has been weighing heavy and working on my emotions at a higher level as of late
I am fully aware that I am no different than any other cancer survivor fighting their own battle. I will not question why my blog caught the attention of the show. I do know I will do my best to represent all of us surviving and living with this daily.
Wish us luck! I'm looking forward to updating all of you upon our return.

NAKED HAPPY DANCE!!!!
I HAVE been worried, dearheart...soooooo glad to hear everything is 'tip-top'.
Went for my 'yearly' with my hunk radio-oncologist...lol....he got all excited that he could feel my staples...ask me if I did my own internal exams....ok, TMI....
CONGRATS on the news!!!
Hugs, Kathi0 -
Great news, Lisa....congrats on reaching this milestone. This has been quite a journey for you, and being in uncharted territory with NED is a great place to be. Your onc sounds like quite the person...love the C squared! Keep up the good work, and enjoy the rest of your life, one day at a time. Happy, happy Thanksgiving, Judy0
