    Chocolate again
    Yes, Pattie, you will like chocolate again. I felt the same way and thought I would never eat it again, but chocolate prevailed - lol!
    My tumor was large, too. When I asked the oncologist about the size, he said the size of a lemon. Then when I told the colorectal dr. he said lemons are different sizes...oh well, the radiation zapped it. I asked the radiation tech how can one tell the radiation is working and she said the bleeding stops. Every Monday, they would "x-ray" to make sure they were still on "target", but yet they couldn't tell if the thing was shrinking.
    I was stage 2 with no lymph involvement. I think the oncologist was very pleased with the results. I'm 11 months post treatment. Had six month lab work today and waiting for scan appointment.
    Best of luck to you!!!

    Chocolate
    Ann, thanks for letting me know that chocolate will not be out of my life forever. :-) Of course I am still drinking those 6 choc. carnation instant breakfasts a day.

    Congrats on being 11 months out. I pray your lab results and scan come back clear too for many more years.
    Hugs and prayers
