Still checking in with you all, though obviously lurking more than posting. But I had to stop in and tell you that it's my 8-year cancerversary!!! I'm 2.5 years NED since my last occurrence and I am a proud 2016 Colondar model!!! Living my life continues to be one of the greatest ways I can think of to flip CRC the bird. In case any of you are interested, here is my latest post. http://sonofamotherlessgoat.net/2015/06/17/one-picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words/

Yay Phong- so happy to read about your NED status. By the way, we saw dr. Guillon. I see why you love him. DH is switching to him. The office environment is so laid back compared to SF Oncology office.
