My diagnosis and NED are the same. Saw Gastro on New Year's Eve. Had colonoscopy on 1/2/09 and doctor suspected tumor was cancer. Saw surgeon on Monday, CT scan the next afternoon and surgery the next day. Dx'd at surgery and all cancer removed.
Surgeon also did a liver biopsy (saying.... "I was right there anyhow") which was clean as a whistle. Had gallbladder removed in April and the surgeon took pictures of my liver and gave them to us. Not too many people have 4 X 5 glossies of their healthy liver. :o)
And, on another note I can't help but notice how many 1960s birthday are on this list, now mine too. I had called my PCP on Monday because I wanted to schedule a colonoscopy. There's been a fair amount of cancer in my family and my mother has a history of precancerous polyps (so far they've caught them all in time!). Even with that, they said I'm too young but the doctor is willing to meet with me to talk about it (appt in a couple weeks). John was diagnosed right after his 49th birthday with stage 3, and they told him if he had gotten scoped in his early 40s they probably could have cured it. Needless to say, I would really like to get scoped.
on a brighter note, it's been a long time since anyone has said "you're too young"
Good luck with that colonoscopy! I had suggested a colonoscopy to my gyno just a couple years ago, who told me I couldn't have one till I was 50, and here I am at Stage 4, and never had one sympton of cancer! I'm glad you're getting checked, better to be safe then sorry! I was dx'd just a month before my 44th. They always say you're too young, but that's bunk, you're never to young to have cancer. Hope all works out with you, and let us know how it went!
Though, on a lighter note, you're right, it doesn't hurt to hear "you're too young" LOL

NED - Not sure. emergency surgery 10/17/07 for bowel obstruction. found the cancer.8/32/lymph nodes positive Stage IIIc. I hadn't had a colonoscopy so they didn't know if there was more. Had a colonoscopy about 3 months after surgery during chemo- all clear. S oooo I think I'll go from the surgery date. That would make it 2 yrs NED.Yeah! What do you think?
