Today is exactly 7 years after my husband had a surgery. It was the most difficult time in our life. When on chemo he was laid off, after 14 years of employment. His boss was cruel, simply inhuman, bad person..., he was laid off again, big crisis we all know about...we had to use all our savings to ...

My husband lost his job when was on chemo ( after 14 years of employment and detication to the company) he got no sympathy from the owner. I strongly believe the reason he got layoff was his illness, we could sue her but decided not to, she was a friend of my mother. You think it's impossible ? .unf...

Almost 7 years, after my husband surgery, he is doing great, good luck.

Be strong, this is a very difficult time, but it's hope everything will be fine. Look at my signature, almost
7 years after !! My husband is doing great. Good luck

You can see my old post on the first page. My husband is doing great more than 6 years after surgery.
I wish you all the same.

Don't worry. You are still in treatment, your CEA can be elevated due to chemo. My husband's CEA was 1.1, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7
and 1.4, jumped to 2.3, after 3 months is lower 1.6. His oncologist said, if it's in normal range is OK and told us not to worry.

My husband, 6 years. In June, he is doing great. His oncologist said 80% of all recurrences happen in the first 2
years.

My husband ( dx Jun'07 ) doesn't have to do CT scans anymore, last one he had was 2 yrs ago. His onc. recommends CEA test once a year and colonoscopy every 3 years when clear and regular physical checkups every year like everybody else without cancer. We are ready for 6 years anniversary !

Husband dx at age of 50, 2007

NED, doing great, thanks God !!!

Thank you, you are 100 % right ) but sometimes you can not control your fear..
