Re: Rectal cancer (Stage 3A) diagnosed late June 2017

It's hotter there than in Sonoma, I imagine it's a challenge with it being so hot yet AC hurts... crazy to even think about and I know th...

Re: NEW-Need some positivity here.

First of all congrats on NED status, that's awesome!

I hope you hear back from your oncologist soon. I know recurrence is always at the back of every cancer patient's mind so fear is normal.

Sending you positive thoughts that this is absolutely nothing!
