The Colon Club

Wonderful!!! Congrats and hugs and prayers to you...

Thanks for posting this wonderful news. I am so happy for you. And to be ready to welcome a new baby! I think that's about as good as it gets. Happy holidays to you!

Wow! Look at all these NEDs coming out to cheer us on! You guys rock!!! Thanks and Happy, Healthy Holidays!

I am coming up to the five year mark as well. I had my liver respected and Mets to my lungs which were respected. Feeling so blessed and buy that I haven't even been on here. Great news for you.

Congrats!

Quick update... I had my 5 year CT scan and colonoscopy this week at Mayo Clinic, and both were clear of everything, no polyps even. My surgeon (who also did this colonoscopy) recommends getting a CT scan for each of the next 2 years even though insurance may not cover it. He recommended another colonoscopy in 3 years, and if all clear, go to 5 years after that.

Oh, and my new daughter was born on 1/17/17 and is a pure joy. She is so easy going and smiles at everyone. Feeling very blessed these days indeed.

Ehut, Thank you for sharing.
Big Congratulations x 2
For the 5 year & the baby daughter!

Congratulations! I remember your original posts on this board and I am overjoyed by how things have turned out for you. Wishing you continuing blessings.

How often are you scanned at this stage? quarterly? Biannually?

My chest/abdomen/pelvis CT's have been annual since last year. My local oncologist didn't think I needed any more after last year. My Mayo surgeon said I should continue for at least the next 2 years (7 years post treatment). I think I'll go with the Mayo doctor's advice.
