Annual Doc visit for physical, review recent bloods, set up next years home brewed follow up plan for
... Just another colorectal GUY !
All recent bloods are OK
Have had my flu vax and third Pfizer booster already
setting up to do Shingrix in the spring

Will be getting a CAP CT scan set up for mid 2022 even though the ultrasounds and xrays have been good monitoring,

That is quite a history! Glad that you're a part of this community and doing well.
I'm just a dude who still can't believe he had a resection and went through chemo (currently 11 years NED). Is this real life?

crossing all fingers and toes as I type 
At the point now of trying to fit this stuff in as, and where, I can.
My CRC Doc will be retiring soon and this may be my last c-scope with him.
First one in May 2007 and he has done all my abdominal surgeries, SO ...
I have great faith in his abilities.
In fact it was his own surgery professor who actually did my lung met in 2010,
based on his recommendation and referral.
Cheers and best wishes !!!
