Yes this thread is a GREAT inspiration. Please note Diana started this thread in November 2009. About 8 years ago. I'm sorry to say, a few of the people who were here in the beginning are not here today, BUTT make no mistakes, far more MANY of us our here today, MORE than even this thread can cover. It is possible to beat this cancer or for many people it is a treatable long term condition.

As our fellow member ClareAnn puts it,

My fellow asskicker, (love that line)

When people are NED, they reside in NEDville and the expression is "may you always reside in NEDville"

3 years and 7 months NED from T4B Stage 3B/C (depends who I ask)

I can officially update my signature now. Six years NED. This was something I didn't dare hope for early on in my diagnosis. These posts always gave me hope in the beginning so hopefully I'm paying it forward.

In October 6 years cancer free ... as far as we know according to follow ups , finished with scans now just bloods every 3 months

1 year since curative resection!! Ileostomy successfully reversed Jan. 27, 2017

Also stage IIIa and NED since July of 2008

Super awesome

NED since June 2009.

Just had my 13th anniversary.

I'm just knocking at the door. May stand on the porch for a while. NED less than 12 hours. Might be all done with treatment, i.e., foregoing post-surgery chemo. Hope that s true and hope to find a happy home in this thread.

14 years.....since March of 2003

I just have to hang in till next jan 22nd when I will pass year twenty ex stage 3c. We have quite a club going,hugs to all Ron.
