I am a cancer survivor. My colon surgery took place Aug 04, 06. I had mets on my liver and in my rectum. Everything that could be found and surgically removed was done. I took chemo for 6 months. Now I am on the blood tests monthly and Petscans every 3 months.
I feel blessed and fortunate that I am alive. However, I feel a form of guilt being a survivor. I have many friends that had less invasive surgery then mine for cancer that didnt make it.
I hope this subject doesnt sound foolish.
My whole person has changed for the better. I am a big advocate of raising funds for research, development and one day a cure for all cancers.
Is anybody out there ever feel guilty for dodging the big "C" bullet.
Thanks for reading this.
