The Colon Club

I know there is not alot of us.....

sadly its the truth i hate saying it....

but i just recently had my ct scan and colonoscopy and i am quickly approching 3 years with no treatment

its hard... am i cured well doctors say until 5 years of clean scans he says yup...

Hey Jumpman,
I have just realised by the medical worlds standards my mum just reached cured ! Five years since her last met showed up !
To be honest living a good life despite it all became the goal a long time ago and I am sure it played its part in keeping her well generally and connected to life .
Of course life has always something to attend to and her liver has other complications now . But it’s doing it’s job and she is pushing forward .

glad to hear from you stu... glad she is doing great hoping to be in her boat also soon.

We will see im quickly approaching 3 years but CEA was at 5.6 but clean pet scan so we will see next blood work check will be 3 years and no treatmet

wish me luck....

I most certainly will and hope it pops back down again . My mum’s started doing that around two years ago having never done it before . Scans have always been good so something else is affecting it . It can stay up for a few months . It seems to coincide with acid reflux so now I make sure she is taking her meds in the run up to a scan . But who knows really !
Wishing you every success and lots of room on the boat . Looking forward to seeing your future posts .

Hi all- Happy New Year. My mom just had her scan and it is still clear. Original diagnosis at Stage 4 May 2011. She has been NED since October 2015. She had several mets to the liver. I will also post on main thread. This is a rough time for everyone. Thinking of you all.
