Just got back from MD Anderson and all the scans and blood work were good. This was our five year check, so the oncologist at MDA told us that we no longer need any ct scans and that he considers my husband cured. We will continue to get a colonoscopy every three years. After being told at the beginning he was a t4 ( wall perforation) I wondered if we would ever get to this point. Many thanks to the encouragement and information given to us from you all.
Continuing to pray for everybody on this board including the caregivers!
