Four years....Thank you ColonTalk!

Postby kpjpmom » Tue Mar 24, 2015 6:14 am

Yesterday was my four year cancerversary. I have been given four incredible years to continue to love. How awesome is that? I am so thankful that I have made it thus far. During that time I have experienced the love of my family, friends, coworkers and community that I would not have before. People have been so supportive in this new journey of being cancer free. I have had periods where the cancer has lain quiet for a time and then raises its head angrily. I am in such a period of time right now. I remember when first diagnosed the fear and anxiety that this dreaded disease caused. I still have anxiety, but it is not the overpowering, take over my life, consuming kind of fear. You here on Colon Talk have been a big part of that transition from fear to acceptance. I want to say a big "thanks" for those who share daily the ins and outs of their own journey, which in turn, helps each of us.
I did not find this site until I was almost through my first dance with cancer. I then became a instant viewer of the topics which so helped me to understand what I experiencing. This site helped me during dance #2 with the FOLFRI combination. I awaiting dance # 3 chemo/radiation and your are still here sharing your stories of hope and courage to face whatever.
I just wanted to take time to say, "thanks" to all the men and women who share a part of themselves with us each day so that I may have understanding of this complex path I journey on.

Blessings my friends,
