Hi all, I don't post very often, I am another of those lurkers here. My hubby was dx'ed in Jan 06 at age 48 with stage 5 colon cancer which had metastasised to his peritoneal wall, with 3 nodes involved. He had 2 surgeries (the last one being "The Sugar Baker Protocol" on Apr 13/06 (atleast that is what they call it here in Canada. He has a permanent illsotomy, but that is a small price to pay. He did 9 rounds of chemo before his body could not tolerate anymore, and the onc said he could stop. He just had a CT-scan in July that showed what they hoped was scar tissue, so they ordered a Pet scan which was all clear. Talk about sitting on pins and needles for a few weeks. When hubby was first dx'ed I looked at the stats and took them for gospel, not anymore... There are so many on this site who have proven that colon cancer is no longer the killer it used to be known as, everyday there are more who are beating this beast. Never ever give up hope! To celebrate my hubby's boss is sending us on an Alaskan cruise in Sept. So to all the newbies, please never give up hope, and keep fighting! To all those heading to Nashville - have a great time! My prayers and thoughts are with you all! Sue |
