22 years. Ron you are a trooper! I salute you.

Hi Kelsi, congratulations on your Chemo Completion. Myself I started a Ketogenic diet about 2 months after treatment ended. It was very difficult to begin, the keto flu seemed more difficult to me post treatment. Energy, etc were not quite back to snuff. After a couple weeks things faired much bette...

Yep, did a small resection on the liver and that went great. Probably one of the easiest surgeries I’ve had. Then on the follow up for that surgery they found a spot in my lungs had grown to 4mm. Still too tiny to do anything about so we waited 3 months and scanned again. This time it had grown to ...

Hi Tdubz. Good to see you!

I can't provide any lung cryo info - sorry.
So I take it you got the liver situation sussed out? Last I recall you had what appeared to be recurrence near the gallbladder?

I hope everything goes well for you.

Awesome!! Congratulations!! Thank you! Yahoooo! Congratulations- that’s great news. I’m waiting on my 2 year scan results, and know that anxiety you describe :roll: Happy for ya! Koreysue Thanks KS Congrats! This is awesome!!! Scanxiety is so real!!!! I just got my results back yesterday at the onc...

Huge congratulations to you!

Thank you for posting. It is good inspiration for folks to hear these stories.

Hey all! Had my 2 year scan today. My appointment for results was suppose to be Thursday, so I knew the wait would be rough. However, they called me today! When I saw that number I about fell over- assuming the worst. But it was good news. Normal scans, normal CEA! Just thought I’d hop on here to s...

Hi all. Yesterday I had my 2 year CT-Scan. I had very heavy scanxiety given it'd been a year since the last scan. My CEA levels have been hovering 2.5-2.8. I've had some mild abdominal discomfort from time to time. Overall, my energy levels and overall health seemed pretty good. Long story short the...

I haven’t been here in a while? Tdubz, I just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about this. I was just recently wondering about you, as I recalled the elevated liver enzymes awhile ago. You know our diagnosis and treatments were just a week or two apart. I hope they can get the tumor out and that you...

I'll toast to that!

May 2019 bring, above all, good health!

Nice contributions everyone! peanut...you have such a great view, hazy or not! I fully agree. That's one incredible view to be able to take in daily! Also that vast hedge makes my arms sore from the thought of all the trimming. Hah! Here are some pics around the Tri-Cities. I have to admit that none...

Congratulations! You've been "deported"! :D Now go and enjoy your life! Will do. I try to treasure each passing moment :). A little less you'll be packing on you next hike benben. :) Could use a couple of pics of the Tri-Cities area or the Great Columbia Gorge over on the Pics Thread to s...

Just finished my port removal surgery a few hours ago. :) Piece of cake in comparison to all the other surgeries/procedures. Took all of 20 minutes or so once the Doc got all situated. Being in 1.5 years, my body had really locked it in place. So gave the Doc a little more work than the norm. Stitch...

Hi All 6 years ago I purchased a new house. As part of that purchase my wife insisted I get the persistent bleeding that the doctors kept telling me was due to a myriad of reasons that had me doing tests for 6 months. I was able to get a colonoscopy, woke up to find out I had cancer, did a ct scan,...

Thank you Lord! My lowest recorded CEA level - Ever! 1.5! Previous lowest was right after surgery with 1.7. So good today for labs, saw 2 of my favorite 3 nurses. My all time favorite drew my blood. She's a fellow cancer survivor (breast cancer). I told her about my CEA level conundrum and she told ...
