So sorry to hear this. I can't imagine anyone thinking Katie is giving up!! I think that the way she is handling all of this at her very young age shows what a truly remarkable young lady you have raised! Kudos to you and your wife! She is facing this damned disease head on and staying strong, not l...

from what I have read, stage iv is when it has spread to more then one organ other then the colon. My dads is stage iv as it is in his liver and his lungs, but I am no expert, just going by what I have learned. Hopefully some of the others will chime in here soon for you and correct me if I am wrong.

Congrats!! Can't wait to see the t-shirt! You've earned it!!

Thank you Sue, it sounds like things are going well for your dad, that is awesome!

That is awesome news!! Congrats! Scared to read posts around here right now, seems that everything is going wrong! Thanks for brightening things up in here!!

I am so sorry to read this. I will keep you, your son and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

For my father, he had diarrhea for about a month before he went to the doctor to start with all the tests. First they thought maybe a bacteria in his colon, so a laxative was used while he waited to get in for his ultrasound. After the ultra sound they saw a shadow in his colon so a colonoscopy was ...

Sounds like your dads laugh was amazing! Sending hugs to you on this anniversary.

I am new here, but have read some of your posts about your daughter. She is so lucky to have a father like you supporting her and trying so hard to help find a way to beat this damn disease. As a parent of a daughter her age, my heart is breaking for you and your family. I pray that somehow you find...
