The day is here! 

I cannot believe I am 5 years NED. 

I was Dx'ed with stage 3B signet cell colon cancer.  I had the colon surgery and 6 months oxi and 5FU.

I feel like I am walking off of the ground!

Thank you to all forum group for all your posts, info, help and just listening.

My hope is that I can inspire others now.

I am a survivor - I love that word.

 

Update on son-in-law

As you know that I posted a few months back.  My 29 year old son in law was Dx'ed with stage 4 rectal cancer with mets to liver.  He has had 8 chemo rounds, liver ablation, now doing radation then the colon surgery.  His cea is good.  So as my journey completes in a way, his is beginning.

This is a horrible disease.

    It takes a bit more work to get him on here, but I too am happy to be able to post him again.  Thanks Traci.
