Hi Lisa -
So good to hear
Hi Lisa -
So good to hear it's been 4 years. Sorry for your scares, and really sorry about your father. I have scan appointments for 11/11 and while I have been doing well, psychologically, having made the scan appts is bringing it all back to the forefront of my mind. Last night I actually dreamed of a meeting with my oncologist, wherein she forgot to tell me my scan results, didn't do blood work and just talked about kids with me! (Where the H did that come from? It must be scans on my mind and hoping they don't show anything - not having a psych degree!)
Been a tough year for the semi-colons. Claudia Cartwright also passed away recently (some of you probably remember her).

Sorry to hear about your dad. I lost my dad 8 years ago and think of the sweet man he was, almost daily.
I am thrilled for you and love that you took the time to share with us.
I am looking forward to reading your updated page.
In the mean time.....
Cheers!!

Congrats!!!
Hi Lisa,
So good to hear from you!!! I was wondering how you've been. Wow, you have been through a lot, to say the least. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father, and also sorry that you had to go through the roller coaster ride with your own health. I'm glad to hear that things are getting better, though. You have always been an inspiration to all of us and you have helped so many on this board (including me!!!)
Keep running those 5Ks!!!
God bless,

Awesome News !kmygil said:Wonderful News!
Hi Lisa,
That is wonderful news and a tremedous decision to refuse negative energy! You are amazing and your story is proof that fighting the beast with everything you have is the way to go!
Hugs,

Happy Feet
4 years! Wow! I am one year behind you.
Sounds like you are giving your feet a real workout. You just wanted to be able to dance in SF. Seriously, I am so sorry about your dad and your scare. I'll tell you what my onc said. She said that if the cancer did come back, that she felt the chemo worked the first time and since I responded to it then, that I probably would again. That helps me when I go through testing. Just know that we kicked it's butt the first time, and we can do it again. NED (Never Ever Defeated)

Just found out I am NED
Hello! Congrats on being NED for four years. I just completed 12 cycles of chemo and my scans show NED. I was diagnosed stage IV with mets to liver. I feel I am a miracle with no more cancer showing up. I find myself in awe and daily hoping it will not come back. I would like for one day to not be possessed by cancer. I also have neuropathy in my fingertips and feet, which is a constant reminder of what I have been through. Did you have neuropathy and if so does it ever go away? What can help it? Blessed but miserable!!!!!!!!!0 -
neuropathy
Give the neuropathy some time. Most people will see it disapate in a year or so. The effects of chemo stick around for a long time. For some,sadly I'm one, it does not go away, and you just learn to live with it. It becomes part of your "new normal". I hope you can wave good-bye to it soon.

Four years, how wonderful! I
Four years, how wonderful! I first came to this site several months after my stage four diagnosis in 2006 and you have been a source of inspiration and hope ever since. Thank you for everything you contribute to this board! I hope to continue a couple of years behind you on this NED path. Congratulations lisa!0 -

Hi Lisa,
haven't been on much lately, but I am sure glad I checked in tonight. What wonderful news to hear right before I go to sleep. I will say a prayer and count my blessings. You are one of those. A blessing to so many people. So sorry about your dad. I know how close you were. He was blessed to have you and you were blessed to have him. NO more health scares for you-I just won't hear of it. I love ya- your friend from Colorado who is hunkering down and getting ready for the snow to fly!!!0 -

Yay Lisa! I haven't been on
Yay Lisa! I haven't been on this site for a while as I have been travelling, but you are as others have said, an inspiration to us all!
I'm so happy for you. What a huge milestone....I hope to be joining you soon. I'm waiting for my blood results as I type this. Even after 4 years I still get very nervous. I guess that's normal, right?
Well here's to NED. You gotta love 'em.
Take care,

Great News!
Hi Scouty,
Great to hear your news, and to hear that you are doing well. I'm sorry for the loss of your dad and friends. I lost my dad to colon cancer before I was diagnosed and missed his support terribly while I was in treatment. It is also hard to know that other friends here have not beaten this beast. I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving; it sure has fuller meaning for me these days.
Don't you hate how casually the onc can suggest that we need to keep an eye on something?". 3 months feels like an eternity while waiting for the next test. I'm so happy for you that all is well; keep up the good work!

Yes, yes, yeswebwoman said:Colonpalooza?
Scouty,
Couch potato to 5K? Glad to see you are thriving. I met you at the Las Vegas Colonpalooza, which I attended on behalf of the ACS. Do you know if another Palooza is scheduled anytime soon?
Thanks,
webwoman
Congratulations Lisa P. What a great news. I'd like if all skeptics ( including my onc ) could read your blog. I would really like to know about the history of your disease if you want to share that with us. If you already written about, please just let us know the date the subject was started. Thanks, and all the best to You and everybody,
Steven0
