Colonoscopy done today
For all the newbies - Diagnosed 4/11/2012 large rectal tumor, Stage IV with mets to liver (1 single lesion). Chemoradiation for 5 weeks. Surgery June 19th, removed rectal tumor (no colostomy), removed liver tumor, removed gallbladder in 6 1/2 surgery with clear margins. 12/23 positive lymph nodes. Started Folfox 4 weeks after surgery in July and completed in December. CEA has been <0.5 since surgery and CT's and PET have been clear. I know last year I didn't know if I would be here this year, so I feel lucky everyday. I hope everyone is feeling good and kicking chemo's butt!

Great news Sandy! You have
Great news Sandy! You have been through so much this past year. I just got my script for my 1 year follow up colonoscopy yesterday. I have to wait until June to get it...I had it done in June of last year to help dx me. I am not looking forward to that prep stuff again. I had to do it twice in the same week...once for the colonoscopy and then again for the surgery.
