Well, it has been what seems like an eternity, but just less than 6 years ago I started down this journey. Thursday, my oncologist at MD Anderson in Houston, TX gave me a hug and sent me on my way. He told me I am cured and have a little higher chance than the general population of getting colon cancer in the future.
Excited and terrified at the same time. All the "what ifs?" keep coming into my mind. I decided to sign up with the survivorship clinic at MDA where they will check CEA once a year and schedule my colonoscopies.
Best of luck to everyone on this board. There is hope!
