    At the age of 42 I was

    At the age of 42, I was diagnosed with stage 1 rectal cancer and stage 1 thyroid  cancer at the same time! Surgery was all I needed for both. I had genetic testing and found I have a chek2 mutation, so I had some preventative surgeries (double mastectomy and complete hysterectomy). I figured why take any chances because I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful 3 year old son.

    Welcome, sorry this fight

    Welcome, sorry this fight picked you, but I'm glad they got all and your NED and being checked. You have plenty of reasons to play it safe, a 3yo is a big job all by itself. Hope your enjoying the holidays, this place is good for questions, answers, and all the icky stuff that no one talks about, elsewhere, glad you decided to "speak".........................................Dave

    Welcome

    Boy, when you do something you do it all the way!  Two at the same time...  

    Welcome aboard.  I hope you are NED and stay that way.  This is a good place to hang out in if you have questions, fears, need encouragement, or just about anything.
