in Colorectal Cancer #1

I saw the Onc yesterday, he had the blood test results, but not the scan yet, said he'd call me later and if things are okay we'd bump the next round to four months. Well he called, and this very conservative doctor sounded almost giddy talking about my liver looking exactly the same over a few scans now, so he bumped the next scan to six months, soooooooooo after 8 3/4 years of three month intervals, I'm finally getting a break, 180 days of focusing on other things. I'll take it!....................................................Dave

    Woohoo!

    That's awesome news!

    It's funny how we look at "no change" as a great thing! I am so happy to hear some good news! I was always excited when my brother's oncologist said "no change."

       I have always considered survival a series of small but positive steps. Keep on putting one foot after the other, Hugs Ron.

    Interval

    That's Great!! I can still remember when my onc changed my visits to six mos. rather than three and then to annually. 

    It will happen for you also, Good Luck!!

    Superb!

    Those six months spin around fast, so enjoy every single day until the next NED. 

    I sure miss being able to post my Happy Dancing Man.

    P.S.

    Something is missing in your post, Dave.

    The hand you have been dealt is not an easy one. My heart aches for your loss. One does not, should not just get up and 'move on' when the love of their life is cruely taken. 

    I do so hope you don't think your post was inappropriate or whining. You are amoung friends who truly understand the head games played with Cancer, and loss. 

    If you get the chance, go visit with Yolllimbs. There is something wonderful about being with friends from this forum. I am so sorry we wern't able to meet earlier this month. I will be back down that way in the fall (I haven't told Yolanda yet), so be warned.

    I look forward to seeing you

    I look forward to seeing you and Yolanda on the next trip, it was nice just chatting with you and her on the phone. To me that post was just the product of a late night funk, and doesn't represent my state of mind all the rest of the time. I'm actually starting to feel an energy that hasn't been there for the last couple of years, and I want/need to focus forward, not dwell on pain and loss. I know I'm going to have those down moments now and again, but as you've said before, you can only allow the hurt or fear a certain amount of your time, before you say "enough, time to move forward". Thanks Sue, for the shoulder, I know I'll be dealing with the emotional scars as I go, but when I re-read some things it comes back to me as wallowing in grief, and I don't see that doing me any good. It's a fine line, I know, and if I need to "let it out", this is the place..............................Dave
