My Chemo Dr. just told me I do not have to have the 2ND round of chemo every thing is clean
he said,"the first round of radiation & chemo killed all the cancer cells and shrunk the tumor real
small but he still had to remove the rectum and anus.I am still on the wound vac maybe another
2 or 3 weeks when my wound heals I will have my port removed.I feel so happy.

    Wonderful!

    QWE:

    Congratulations on your great news (and thank you for your kind encouragement on my post about my husband's NED scan).

    I hope you have days full of progress and healing. Enjoy every nano-second of the relief that comes with hearing that your treatment has been successful. Cancer has a strange way of giving you perspective on what is important and what is not.

    I am delighted for you.

    Music to your ears...


    When your doctor uses the term NED, you should feel happy indeed.

    NED means "No Evidence of Disease."

    Qwe, Good for you!
    I did have to do 'mop-up' chemo, but after my surgery they decided to do only 4 rounds, instead of the 6-12 that I was prepared for. I am almost through - Round 3 starts next Monday.

    Many hugs, Vicki
