Can scarcely believe it but after just over 10 years, I have been discharged. Will continue to have routine colonoscopies but no more scanaxiety- which never got any better, even towards the end. I wanted to post one last time to give hope that sometimes things do work out, even with liver and lung ...

Thanks Bev I do lurk every so often to check how my CC friends are doing.I'm always glad to see you posting the same supportive advice you always did -best wishes and big hugs to youx

I had FOLFOX (but no Erbitux) and was no stranger to anxiety attacks....The night time was always the worst.But I am still here, nearly eight and a half years later, to show that modern medicine and surgery techniques are a wonderful thing.Am now sleeping through the night (took a long while!)and ha...

What a beautifully written post. I was another who greatly benefited from both your knowledge and the kind sensitivity of your replies.I am raising a (very large) glass to you !

Congrats to you too Diane -fantastic news ! I completely agree that I consider myself NED, not in remission. Your lung thingy tale sounds similar to what happened to me except mine did start to grow. I mention this not to freak you but to say that my docs said there's loads of things that pop up on ...

Stevieb I am optimistic you will join me on Monday and I will be thinking of you and sending positive vibes. Thank you to you all for your good wishes and I hope for better things for all on this board.

Just thought I'd post to show us stage 4 NEDers do exist. Had most recent scan result today and I remain in the clear :) I have to say it genuinely doesn't get any easier going for the scans -I feel sick with dread every time -but I know how very important it is to know that all the pain and sufferi...

Had my lung met surgery in London 3 years ago and still doing well. They have great surgeons so you will be in safe hands. Huge rotating chickens for you !

I had a big party for all my nearest and dearest -particularly my friends who stuck by me as opposed to those who melted away.....However, from what I remember of you, I can see you more climbing up the highest mountain you can find and yodelling from the top !!! Enjoy yourself with whatever you cho...

Had my results from recent CT scan today - still NED !!! In 2 months it will be my seven year anniversary - lots of bumps along the way but I just wanted to post a message of hope. Biggest hugs to you all still caught up in the maelstrom but when it was me, I was desperate to read good news so my fi...

I am sorry you are having to deal with such devastating news at a time which should be full of excitement and happiness. I am in the UK and by chance, I was listening to the radio when a woman was being interviewed about being pregnant whilst diagnosed with colon cancer. She sounded a Colon Clubber ...

I had 3 liver mets and one lung met -still currently doing good :D It is normal for them to stop the Folfox some time before your liver op as it affects the liver and makes the surgery more risky. Mine was stopped a month before and then started again about 3 weeks post op. Best of luck with your tr...

I don't check in so often anymore but that is not to say that I am not thinking of you. I hope this current treatment gets rid of the nasty beasties for good this time and you are once more pedalling away at full strength.

Great, great news ! Babies bring such healing and hope.You and Kelly will be tremendous parents. xxx

I do not know about peritoneal disease, but I do understand how you are feeling about being NED so long and then the damn thing coming back again.It is incredibly upsetting when you start to believe you are out of the woods and then find you're being dragged back in.However, the positive is that the...
