Just celebrated my eleven year anniversary of my diagnosis of stage 3 rectal cancer. Completed my colonoscopy recently and am ALL GOOD to go for another 3 years. Sorry I have not been here to post in ages-but life is so busy and beautiful at the same time. Oldest is a senior in high school, number one in her class and waiting to hear from great colleges whether she got in or not. She was in first grade when I was diagnosed....WOW! Anyway, I still run almost every day, if a tiny bit slower, and still work as a prosecutor. All is well in western New York! Saw some familar names on the board and some familiar topics....all good with me...you fight this disease any way you can! Keep the faith survivors...we have miles and miles and miles to go before we sleep!

That's why we keep
Fed,
That's why we keep getting these stupid colonoscopies I guess....so they can just take care of it when, and if, it ever pops up again. Glad to hear that you did well and that your required no further treatment. I have not even had a polyp since my initial diagnosis, when I had one tumor and one polyp removed, but my Dr. insists on every 3 years...so I do it! I hope you are well too and that life is treating you fairly! I never gave up, never will give up, and know you will do the same! Be well my friend!0 -

Great inspiration!I am still
Great inspiration!I am still fighting with the uncertainty feeling of how our life is going to be after my hubby's treatment is over.It looks like life can be good and just as normal.Thanks to you for your post.0 -
Great inspiration fo me too..
Your story offers me a lot of encouragement. My husband is back in the hospital 2 weeks after his surgery due to an infection at the resection site. This is really a downer for us both.
After reading your post I have faith that one day things will be better and we'll continue enjoying life as we use to.
Thanks for your update

Hello Runnerz,
THANK YOU so
Hello Runnerz,
THANK YOU so much for posting + telling us your success story; it is nothing but inspiration for those of us earlier on in this battle. Everytime a long time colorectal cancer survivor posts it lifts my spirits + helps my hope expand. I am so happy for you; it must have been very difficult dealing w/CRC + a young family too. CONGRATULATIONS!0 -

Thanks for the
Thanks for the encouragement. I used to run when I was 20 years younger, but as life became busy I stopped. Maybe now, or at least as soon as the snow melts, is the time to start again.0 -
thank you 11 yrs and counting
Thank you Runner for your victory message...I am convinced that once we slay this giant called cancer, IT WILL NEVER COME BACK AGAIN...thats what I believe for myself and you have just confirmed that for me!!!!!! I've joined the 'fear not' club and with 7 more to go and the doc lowering the dose I am just happy because I know when my last treatement is over and I've learned all that God has intended for me to learn this test is over and I can move on with the best part of my life. This has been a 'bridge' from my past preperation to my future sucesses. THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING!!! 0
