Today is the 7 year anniversary of when i was diagnosed stage IV. I currently am NED per my last scan. I started this post not to brag but to give hope to others who are new to this. The same way that Craig Phil and Mags have inspired me in thier many years of beating this disease. Some might say surviving the disease. But i say as long as we have a heartbeat we are beating this disease. |

i understand.
It seems like once a month i hear about someone i know or a friend of a friend being diagnosed with cancer. I think we were chosen to be long term survivors to help inspire and comfort others battling the beast.

My wife showed me your post and it's given me hope and a fresh sense of determination. It comes on a day where I'm feeling tired and run down from my last chemo session. I'm inspired by your bravery and I thank you for sharing your story. Your success motivates me to fight this disease with all I've got. Happy Anniversary.

Keep fighting Steve. My motto is I will not let the disease or the treatments hold me down. I used to force myself to mountain bike 2 days after they took the pump off me. This would speed up my recovery mentaly and physically.

You are not bragging. You are giving newbies like me (diagnosed a month ago) hope. When the surgeon told me I had colon cancer w/mets to my liver, I asked if it was curable. He said no, and gave me statistics. It wasn't until I started with the oncologist that I began to have some hope, that this was "treatable."

Just remember, you are not a statistic. You are an individual. Just maintain a positive attitude. Don't let cancer control you, you control the cancer. Best wishes.
