I've been clear since liver resection of Oct 2013, despite 'palliative' diagnosis (inoperable liver mets) end 2012.
Chemo killed all mets - see sign.
Promoted to annual surveillance (CT + CEA) in June. I don't think I'm officially 'cured', but life is back to normal. No more worries.
I realize I've been lucky. Wish you all the same.
