    Keep up the great attitude
    Keep up the great attitude and humor!!! Personally, I would love to get NEDish, but don't know how likely that is in my case. Stage 4 with mets to liver, peritoneal cavity, lungs, and of course LN and colon. Still have all of my colon, but also have a transverse colostomy (on my left side, so pretty close to a descending colostomy). Not sure if I will ever get NED, but first CT scans (after 4-5 treatments) did show improvement (no new tumors, no growth, some shrinkage of up to 50% on some tumors). Just living a day at a time and hoping and praying for the best.

    You never know!
    I was not expected to live more than two years after diagnosis, and yet here I am, three years out and doing really pretty well. If the chemo works for you, surgery may very well be back on the table, and then long-term remission, or even a cure, could be in sight. So stay strong and keep hoping!
