Still Ned for colon.....on to kidney cyst now.
Latest ct scan still Ned. So happy! Now to carry on with kidney cyst. It has grown just a bit since last September. They think it's a carcinoma but not sure. it has been a year on the 22nd of this month that I was diagnosed with colon cancer. It's been quite a ride and yes we are stronger than we think.

Congrats!
Glad to hear you are still NED!
You sound like me. I had a growth on my kidney that we watched (ignored) all during my colorectal cancer treatments (for a year). The "cyst" grew over that time. My urologist told me while we were "watching" it: "If it grows, it is cancer and we take it out". It grew. Slowly (thank goodness). I was able to have DaVinci Robotic assisted surgery and was able to have a partial nephrectomy - as the tumor was in a good spot for it. It was cancer (they can't tell until it's removed). I was in and out of the hospital within 24 hours following the surgery. The tumor was less than 4 cm so it was an early stage. The only follow-up post surgery are yearly scans. Surgery for small/early kidney tumors are 95% plus curative.
So - be encourage. And for more info on kidney cancers - visit the kidney board, too. Lots of great folks there with great info.
Wishing you the best!
