Hello to Another Mn Girl
Glad you posted. I too have been here since May 2011 but dx Sept. 2010. I too was surprised and did not fit the profile. Must be the low Vitamin D or ....... Prayers for continued good health.

Hello Relaxoutdoors~
I am so glad you shared with me that you are also from Minnesota. Are you doing your followups at Mayo in Rochester? I have my ct scans done there because they have a CT scanner that apparently has 1/2 the radiation comparatively to the general CT scanners. My Oncologist is in the St Cloud area but I had my surgery at Mayo so that is why I have Mayo involved in my case.
I see on your bio that you take aspirin daily...my oncologist has never said anything about that. Is that in reference to preventive cancer or because of preventive heart disease? Just curious if you are willing to share.
Prayers back at you for continued health ~Minnesotagirl -

Hello MnGirl
Yes, first year I was scanned every three months. Now 2nd year, scanned every six months. I still have my chemo port because I was told I am in the group mostlikely to recur. I read low dose aspirin may prevent recurrence and Onc. Said it may help. The next two scans are important. Prayers for continued good health for all of us.

Minnesota Girl and RelaxOutdoors - welcome!
Nice to see other MN'ers posting. I am involved with two CRC support groups in MN. If you are in the Twin Cities area and want info on the Edina (3rd Thursday night of each month) or Burnsville (2nd & 4th Tuesday nights) groups, please let me know. We are listed with ACS for support groups, but it can be a bit difficult to navigate their system to find them sometimes.
We are about to lose our "hearty" "tough girl" status with this whimpy weather this year, huh? I am loving the record high temps!
