Hey--What's up with NED Posters?

I think about you two - and also others in our demographic that were not fortunate - a lot. Good to hear from you John.

I agree as well. Actually I think its a rather big deal that Horizon, Disconap, and I all were diagnosed 3C in our 30's and all apparently remain NED. I don't know if either of them have considered that...that all three of us started on this forum within a few months of each other, all three of us younger in age and with fairly advanced forms of cancer. I 'd like to think that seeing that it gives hope to others...that Disco has Lynch syndrome, and that I have very heavy node involvement...and that a group of relatively younger people survived a fairly poor prognosis(though I think that 45% stage 3c number is now probably more around 60% considering the advances in medical treatment and surgery techniques).

And anyway, I'm not out of the woods yet as rectal cancer has a longer recurrence curve than colon cancer. So I'm sure I'll be around for some time still.

I hadn't considered that! Hopefully all of us will be marveling about it for a long time.
