The Colon Club

Thirteen years ago I was diagnosed and was a frequent poster to this forum. I loved to see the posts when people returned many years later. Today that is me - Stage 3 survivor - rectal cancer - chemo radiation (oxaliplatin and xeloda simultaneously), surgery, more xeloda, reversal surgery. Alive and well in spite of some longterm side effects. Four lymph nodes at clinical diagnosis - two local and two regional.

Congrats on another year!

Congratulations! and thank you

Congratulations!

Congrats!

Per the below, I was dx’d stage 3 rectal early 2017. It’s scared the shit out of me but nothing but all clears since NED 7/31/17. One more to go and I’m outta here, will be discharged from a surveillance at MDA.

Thanks for posting - always nice to see a positive post from long-term survivor.

11+ years for me and I am thankful every day too.

A rare visit to this site for me today and nice to pick up your positive story
