Hi all,

I had my last round of chemo in mid January, returned to work the beginning of March, and had my port removed yesterday.

Only lasting side effect is still some chemo brain forgetfulness and a little fatigue -- it can't be my age ;-) . Nothing exercise and diet will not be able to overcome.

To keep continuity, I've cross posted on colonclub site, and here is link to prior threads: http://coloncancersupport.colonclub.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13877
Also, my "about me" on CSN is kept up to date.

As always, I appreciate all the support I received on this forum, If anyone has any questions, feel free to PM me at anytime. I've not been on the board in a while and really will only check in to give updates at best quarterly.

Cancer is behind me for now, will have reminders as I have my routine checkups. The experience has given more then it has taken. It has not defined whom I am, but did show and strengthen my character. I wish not to be known only as a "cancer survivor", as there is so much more I do and will do.

I wish you all the best.

Dan
