Fast forward from January 1, 2020…. March 2020 CEA 2.7. August 2020 - scan shows new lesions in the right lobe of the liver so an MRI was scheduled. Sept 2020 CEA 2.9 Sept 2020 MRI was not definitive other than to confirm there were new spots on the liver that had not been seen before. Oncologist te...

Fabulous news to read. Have a great celebration!

They showed up in March, 18 months after finishing chemo. It was a surprise. Our family has been so very lucky, we are all still working and no-one has tested positive. Our social lives have been very quiet but then again I didn't mind not having to get together with the in-laws. They probably feel ...

You quite literally dodged a bullet by being there so early.

Hope you have great scan results.

Is it wise to compare 2019 obesity rates with 2007 CRC rates?

.....BTW, I consider all of you as part of my team. This is so true. Thank you for bringing it up. Just as a side note on the subject of having your surgeon on your team, I thought once my surgery was done I wouldn't see the surgeon again. Wrong. Not only will she do my colonoscopies, she wants to ...

Will you be posting hourly or minute by minute updates on prep day? Kind of like TSN's James Duthie on NHL trade deadline day....

"Daughter of Family G" by Ami McKay Just released two weeks ago, it's a biography and a memoir all at the same time and a truly excellent read. It tells the history of how Lynch Syndrome was discovered and expands on a documentary that Ami created 15+ years ago. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/th...

Wife2jeff, one thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is how long it may take your husband to get back to normal energy levels. I finished chemo in August 2018 and it wasn't until April or May this year that I felt normal again. That may be partly due to diet as I had no desire to eat much until Feb o...

I'm enjoying your blog very much, thanks for sharing the link.

And congratulations on the big C - Cured!

We went to Peterborough this weekend. Our original plans got kiboshed so we ended up taking a boat trip down the river to watch the air show. It was an awesome experience. Planes were at times probably less than a kilometre overhead. Highlight was the CF18 display (I was thinking of Pyro the whole t...

Breaking news (from 10 days ago) - Scanned August 27th and my review appointment with the oncologist was Sept. 12th. It was clear!!! CEA was 2.4. I’m not a smoker but it appears to be my normal. In March 2020 it will be a CEA test only, no ultra sound or x-ray, then next scan in August. If all is go...

While I have been busy, nothing I 've been doing was really picture worthy so I am enjoying everyone else's contributions.

Wishing DH good results on this scan. Things sound good going in with all the other test results.

I am pretty much in the same timing. My scan is on the 27th. I will get the results on Sept 9th....

All the best.

Hi Stu, I tried Imgur first but had the same problem as Lee did with it not recognising the photo even after resizing. So I used CRguy's recommendation imgbb.com. It's easy, but a word of caution - You need to create an account to upload any photos so if you are concerned at all about privacy be car...
