Hope

It has been a number of years since I was on this website. I actually lost my login info it has been so long. My cancer battle started in 2007 with rectal tumor.  1 1/2 years later it was in my liver with three tumors. Had surgery, chemo and was clear for about two years and it came back. Another liver resection, more chemo and then a bit of a remission. In 2015 it came back in my liver again. Irrinotecan and cetuximab almost killed me. Took away all my fight but I kept going. I only remember my doctor telling me in 2009, when the cancer showed up in my liver, that if the drugs did not work I had 9 months. Then I went online and saw that I would be fortunate to live another 24 months. I am wriiting this today becuase that was ten years ago. I just had a pet scan and I am completely clear. I am now on a chemo holiday until if and when the cancer comes back again. I was told by my very smart, world renowned doctor that I have a 4% chance of being cured. Been a long time since I was on this site, many years ago, but I wanted to post and say that there is hope even when all the statistics tell a different story of no hope. I have learned so much about my disease and myself during this fight. I have lost many co-fighters along the way and I miss them. I wanted to hopefully remind everyone that there is hope and if there is anything I can do to help you please dont hesitate to ask. For today I have victory over cancer!  Thank you for reading and fight on!
