Hello Everyone,
My journey began in February, 2010. I had surgery and 12 rounds of chemotherapy. I rang the victory bell at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, Md on November 4, 2010. I wish to take the opportunity to personally thank each and everyone of you for your kind prayers and support. It was kind of rough at times for this disease took the life of my mother, aunt and uncle. I am the second of my first cousins to have had this disease and both of us are cancer free. I have a third first cousin who has just finished her chemotherapy and liver surgery. The doctors say that our family carries the gene for colorectal cancer. I had my first colonoscopy since my treatment on January 23, 2012. I admit, I was nervous. My doctor just called me and told me that my colonscopy results were benign and there is no evidence of cancer anywhere in my body. By Jesus stripes I am healed and I thank GOD for the victory. As my church has taught me through our memory verse:

Psalm 118:17- I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done.

Peace and Blessings,

Karen

    Glad to hear things are going so great. With all the history of the disease in your family, I'd keep in touch with the doctors at St. Agnes Hospital too...
