Congratulations. I remember you joining about the same time I joined. I too moved to annual checkups at my four year checkup and feel blessed. Hope all those who need encouragement can benefit from your good news.

So not true! I got sick a month ago and dropped a bunch of weight and then I had a colonoscopy. I'm a toothpick now! Working hard on changing that. 8)

I didn't see a followup to your "I'm going through the prep" thread recently. You ok?

I'm just a dude who still can't believe he had a resection and went through chemo (currently 13 years NED). Is this real life?

You had better start thinking about how you want to handle the 5 years NED issue in case your Onc wants to get rid of you....that could be a big challenge to you by the sounds of it, but then again, it is a good challenge to have.


That will definitely be a good problem to have. I've got my fingers crossed!
