Hi there, I haven't posted in awhile but I come to read. Today is 3 years since my mother's diagnosis of Stage 3 rectal cancer. I'm posting today for all the newbies, hoping I can shed some hope in your battles. My mother is feeling and looking great and has got clear scans since. She has one coming up at the end of this month actually. Today I called her to say "Happy March 2nd" as its a blessing that it was diagnosed, treated and cured!

Stay Strong,
Julie

    It's always encouraging to hear news like that. My husband has stage 3 rectal cancer and we are just getting through the first few months of treatments. I can't wait until we can be 3 years and more with NED. Thanks and give your mom hugs!!!
