Diagnosed April 2013 with stage IIIB CC. 3/179 nodes. Yep 179, had long standing Ulcerative Colitis. Total Colectomy in May 2013. Folfox finished Thanksgiving weekend. First CEA 2.2, then 1.2 post surgery. Was up to 3.3 yesterday. Had a CT today which was clear--thankfully. Don't have to go back for f/u CT for 6 mo now. Going to be a good Christmas this year. Did a triathlon during chemo, didn't finish ahead of very many people but pretty sure I won the unofficial chemo division. Thankful for all of the posts I've read so far and for the optimistic brave people who have made me feel better just by reading their story.
