So glad everything was clear.

I was thinking about you today and hoping you would update—such wonderful news!

After a tear-filled consultation at the GI they were able to squeeze me in for a colonoscopy this Friday. I am praying everything will be ok.

Hugs to you—this is stressful in and of itself and then to have so much going on with buying a home and being pregnant is a lot. You are handling this really well. If it is rectal cancer, I’m not sure I would say it’s “worse” but it is more complex to treat. It involves more steps and has a few vari...

I’m sorry this is happening. Any chance you can keep calling to see if you can get squeezed in due to a cancellation?

Sorry you have to be here but this place has been wonderful to me. I am six weeks new here and my mom’s story has a similar start—a mass was found very low that was determined to be rectal cancer rather than colon cancer.

I am so sorry you keep getting discouraging news. I really think you should look into the Dr K everyone keeps talking about. You are worth the very best and there is always hope, especially with the very best.

Congratulations to you!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience after each infusion. My mom just started her first round on Monday. I know everyone will react differently but it helps to get some insight into another’s experience.

It is awesome to be able to fade away because cancer is in the rear view mirror! I hope this for all of us, although I do really like how many long-time NED survivors are ever-present to chime in with their positive stories and words of encouragement. I would like to think one day I will be able to ...

Congratulations!

Totally understand—I feel the same way. I hope you can find a doc who will listen to your concerns. It is annoying when doctors dismiss a patient who has an intelligent research-based question. Sometimes I think we are probably the toughest patients because we have those hard-hitting questions that ...

Praying it is nothing..when is your CT scheduled?

Sending prayers and good vibes your way!
