My husband was diagnosed in Nov. of 2009 and he has been clear since. His last CEA was in Oct. and last scan in July. He has a 6 month follow-up scan in a couple weeks. Praying that everything will still be clear.

My husband has to choose a Medicare supplemental plan for when he will turn 65 in March. One of the choices is Kaiser Permanente. I see that they always get very high ratings in Consumer Reports but I wonder what would happen if he should have a recurrence and would want a 2nd opinion. Would that 2n...

I'm so sorry to hear that it's back, but this treatment sounds like very promising odds and hopefully not too many side effects. Saying prayers that this gets rid of it for good.

I somehow missed this thread, but want to say a late CONGRATULATIONS! You've always been such an inspiration with your positive attitude and skiing during Folfox. You were about a month behind my husband in treatments and he passed 3 years last month.

Why did I read this depressing post? ACK! By the way, Colon Club has Total members 35,034 I'll be 4 years out from dx on Jan. 2nd and after my liver resection in April was given about an 84% chance of living 3 years and 74% chance of being alive in 5 years...... plus a 50% chance of never having an...

I am so so sorry to hear this. She was so young and had so much to live for. My sympathy to her family and friends. Rest in peace, Ilona.
