in Colorectal Cancer #1

I am really struggling with writing this post. I have been off line for the past several days due to an upcoming scan and I needed to clear my head before the scan. It is very hard for me to say this especially with so many struggling hear. Craig (Sundanceh) is a very good friend and it is heartbreaking for me to see what he is facing. But I feel we have a responsibility to post good and bad news. As you have said Craig keeping it real for the other folks here. especially the newly diagnosed.

For those of you who don't know or are new here I ws diagnosed in October of 2005 stave IV and have suffered 2 recurrences. The last one was over 1 1/2 years ago. I have been out of treatment for exactly one year and my scan today came back clean.

    Good news is very important.
    Good news is very important. I am so happy for you. Congratulations and thank you for posting this news. I understand why you may have been hesitant, but I too agree it's a responsibility. So many people lurk at CSN and are reluctant to join. Think of all the people that we aren't even aware of, that will read your post and feel some hope.

    Congrats

    All news is important

    We often use the family analogy for our relationships here. 

    We need to hear the good news so that we can at a bit of spark back into our hearts and minds so we can continue to help those in the family who are in need.

    Good news is important and not begrudged by those not so fortunate.

    To see the sun shine for another, gives each of us a bit of light through the clouds.

    Congratulations on the great results.

    Good Job, Buddy!

    I appreciate your sensitivity, Jeff...but, the needs of the many - are greater than the needs of the few - or the one...

    May the winds of fortune continue to blow your way:)

    I was hoping you would post clean...I had a feeling good news would be coming.  Thanks for sharing your good news with the group, they need to hear it:)

    Take care and hang another good one up there in a few months!

    Hi Jeff,

    Great to hear the good news, I am walking the same timeline as you. April 2011 was my operation Stage IIIb. My scan in May was totally clear also they even checked lungs en bones.

    Hwever they detected a enormous hernia. New concern .

    We always like to hear the good news too.

    Keep the clean scans coming, I pray for that.

    Thank you for posting and happy to hear the news of clear. I am also stage IV and need to read some positive news from other stage IV'S. I am just 1 year 3 months since diagnosis and need to read some positive stories from long term fighters - with all sadness it's good to hear a news of clear.

    yea

    Congratulations, Jeff and thanks for sharing.  Good news is broadly important so that we know that this thing can be beat at even daunting turns in the road.  I've seen how easy it is to despair and risk disasterous inaction.  Positive examples are important so we do not fall into traps of inaction and formalism.

    Great news, Jeff!  We share

     

    Great news, Jeff!  We share your joy. Good news is always welcome, especially on a day like yesterday when we learned of Steve's death. Both have a place here. 

    I hope that you celebrate and savor this news.  I am so happy for you and those you love.

    Enjoy NED!
