Another year of being "unremarkable". Prayers answered.
I just wanted to post this for people going through chemo for stage III to let you know that it's possible to come out the other end and have things pretty much normal again. 4 years and 2 months NED.

Congratulations! 
Isn't "unremarkable" a funny word? Every time I see it on my scans I think, "No, it's remarkable that I don't have cancer and the scan is clear!"

Re: "No CT evidence of recurrent neoplasm or metastatic dise
So happy to see your post. Our guys were diagnosed around the same time so I always look for your posts. I haven't been on the site for awhile so grateful that I caught it today. My husband had his "unremarkable" checkup in early December. CEA lowest it has been at 0.5 and scans all clear. 1 more year and we may get to hear the cured word. Congrats to you and your family.

My husband's CEA was exactly the same as yours. I haven't been on the site for a while either. I think it's good to let people here know that there is hope and that things do finally get back to normal for many people.
Congrats to you and your family too!
