Re: NEW-Need some positivity here.

Hi there-
Just had a scan and results come in on Wed. But I had a signetera test and never heard the results. Cea is 1.4 and all bloodwork looks normal. I know that it could all mean nothing. This will be 3 yes cancer free if it is a clear scan.

How’s everyone doing???

Re: NEW-Need some positivity here.

You are too kind!!! You helped me! And I’m just glad there is a record of this “journey” (I hate that word). I’m not delusional ana I know that as a stage 4 survivor the floor could fall from under me. But it’s just so great to know that complete strangers can become friends in the darkest of times....

Re: NEW-Need some positivity here.

Hi all! I realize I haven’t posted since last year! I’ve been on the Blue Hope Nation groups and the Colontown ones. I made it to 2 1/2 yrs NED in Feb and I have CEA check on June 6. Still here but still always worried. What a way to live. Trying to be thankful-I remember those hopeless days and I h...

Re: NEW-Need some positivity here.

Hi all! Checking in to see how everyone is doing...went to my primary and they detected blood in urine and low iron but not anemia levels. Worried. Hoping it’s a uti. Makes me crazy though. Cea level on Tuesday and colonoscopy on the 28th. Managed not to get covid as of yet and teach hybrid classes ...

Re: I stand up to use the word cure(d)....

Say it as loud as you want! Who doesn’t want to hear about hope and some else’s good fortunate? Anyone who bashes is a miserable human being. You’d think being in this situation they’d be better behaved... Go You! Lydia Just as I stand up to cancer. People tried to bully me into not saying cured in ...

Re: NEW-Need some positivity here.

Hi Claudia-
You are correct. We have to sort of put it on a shelf. But other things trigger a panic attack. No one gets it like we do. Every tinge of pain makes me worry. Therapy is next if we can just get out of the house!!!!
Take care!

Re: NEW-Need some positivity here.

Hi there- I say get the colonoscopy. Colon cancer patients are too scared to go a year or more! He will understand that. I’m so glad you have been clear this long. That’s wonderful. So happy that there are indeed happy stories. Yes it’s definitely PTSD but on high. I just watched the beginning of De...

Re: NEW-Need some positivity here.

Hi all- I figured since we are on a Coronacation I’d check in. I actually forgot to post in Feb when I got my clear scan! So happy for it but I’m learning that PTSD is very real and I can’t just let it go and put it in the past. Stage 4 won’t let me. Still feel action in my liver but nothing on the ...
