Re: Update

Yes, I still read these posts. Had my last appt with my lovely colorectal nurse and she gave me a survivor badge! Gave her a hug, with her permission and got a bit tearful.

Some do mention two years and 'the chances reduce dramatically after two years' etc. But I'm trying to avoid looking things up as I've found it a bit unsettling at times! I will be at two years and five mo...
