stage iv NED! Yeah! 8/31 I had a CT scan that was questionable, and today I had an MRI and an xray of the abdomen/pelvis. After being stressed and trying hard not to be for several weeks,I just found out for sure that I don't have colon cancer today. These close calls scare me to death. I know all of you understand this feeling of relief where you are brought to tears.
2 years NED!!! Thank you God!

    Great news, Jo Ann. As a fellow Stage IV survivor I totally understand the ups and downs. Two years NED for me too as of a week ago. But, yesterday I felt tired and kind of sick and by the end of the day I had six months to live! Today I feel much better.

    Congratulations on the good news. I think we will always have to live with these scares.

    You make me laugh, but I totally understand living your life in increments of 6 months. I've felt less than great since April, when I finally was told that I have a sinus infection. I've been on antibiotics and steroids off and on since then. I'm having sinus surgery Oct. 2 so you can see why I might have a little apprehension about whether I'm feeling this way because I have a sinus infection or could it be...
    Now I can really relax, have the sinus surgery and maybe feel better than I have in a long time. I'm going to enjoy my weekend, and then go see my onc on Monday and let her explain all of this uncertainty.

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I am nearly 4 years Stage 4 NED. Just had a check up on Friday and everything looks good. My onc. wanted to move my next appointment back to 8 months, but I am too scared to do that, so I go back in 6. May God continue to bless you with good health.
