Update

nudgie

For those who don't know me too well, I was DX with Stage II Colon Cancer in 2006. After surgeries and chemo I am NED. It will be my 4-year mark on July 10, 2010. My last CT Scan (17 Apr) and bloodwork both came back normal.

a) My son has moved back home (April). He was in Chicago working for Kraft.
b) I finally broke down and purchased a laptop through Dell
c) My new job I got in Sept 09 is NOT what was convenyed to me during the interview process, so I am once again job hunting.
d) CT Scan and bloodwork came back normal (Apr)
e) Got my first tatoo in March and yes, I am still trying to get a picture of it so I can post it.
f) Looking at putting our home on the market in WV, so we can move back to VA. Closer to careers.
g) Will be getting two new kittens in the next couple of weeks. My baby I had for 15+ years passed away a year ago.

I want to apology for not posting responses as much as I used too. Like others, I have been out of the fight since 2006 and this arena keeps changing.

I pray for everyone here on the board every day and night. There is NOT a day that goes by that I do not think of everyone and like many, yes, I still get nervous about my CT Scans and bloodwork.

My everyone find happiness in the small things that life offers.

Great line from the God father "no matter how hard I try to get out I get pulled back in". It the same here. I have gotten more answers and support here over the years then from any doctor. Here experience give others knowledge and courage. I guess feel that we owe each other whether new to the fight or old timers like us. So whether you're out for a month or many years you know how to find our club. On a lighter note if you had raditaion to the colon don't you already have a tatoo (three dots to line up for radiation on your rear area) although I appreciate you not giving us a picture of those:). Take care Lou

Sounds like things are going exceptionally well. How do you like having your son back home with you? Our daughter lives in Chicago, right near downtown.

Have your son take a picture of your tatoo so you can post it. I always thought a good one for the rectal cancer people would be in tiny letters on their butts "Kiss This Cancer".

Have a good one - Tina

Wow, that's great to hear. So, what's your sectret? I know you had better odds than many on here, being stage 2, but it's a tough fight anyway you look at it. Anything you attribute your success to?

Hey!
It's good to hear from you, and especially to hear that your checkups have been so good! I'm sorry about that job business, though. I remember when you got it. Hopefully this will be a chance to find a wonderful new position.
