    Welcome back to the board. I am a caregiver to my hubby, Stage IV, lots of mets to liver and lungs. We just joined in October. Sorry you had computer problems, that can be an expensive pain in the behind.

    Anyway, just wanted to jump in and say welcome. Looking forward to your posts and informtion and help to those of us maneuvering this monster called Colon Cancer.

    Actually George was diagnosed 3/09 but I just lurked in here until October. He is doing remarkably well, handled chemo well, continued to work the entire time, took pump and all to work. He gets fatigued easily but with no kids in the house anymore, he gets lots of relax time. As of last CT Scan doc was impressed, he said you never see this kind of response, and if you do it is very rare so we are staying the course. We see the onc again this Thursday so we will see how we are doing. CEA is down from 596 to 17. Of course I want more but know this will be an up and down thing. Tina

    You Are WELCOME :)
    Hi Sheri

    Welcome back to the fold - snuggle under a blanket and get cozy and get caught up.

    Really glad you enjoyed the CD - Santa Craig was having some fun putting all of that together for the group - everyone really seemed to enjoy it and included it as part of their celebrations - how cool is that? Made my heart warm to know it touched so many people. Certainly glad you were among them.

    I must have missed that post you put up or I would have responded - sorry about that. I normally don't miss to many.

    Glad you are back up and running - take care.

    -Craig
