Re: I was 10 year cancer free on November 20th!
Freaking awesome. Congrats!!
I'm just a dude who still can't believe he had a resection and went through chemo (currently 13 years NED). Is this real life?
Re: I was 10 year cancer free on November 20th!
Congrats DE, 10 years is a massive milestone.
Do you feel like you have put cancer in the rearview mirror?
I am so happy to see posts like this, from people that were facing the same issues as I did at a similar sort of time

Re: I was 10 year cancer free on November 20th!
Thank you horizon and kiwiinoz! I still have a small worry in the back of my mind that my cancer will come back. It's always there. Having ongoing GI issues doesn't help. I do my best to put it out of my mind.
