adding some hope

I haven't logged on in quite some time but want to give an update. I'm 5 years out from Stage 3 with 3 lymph nodes compromised. I went through 6 months of chemo and slowly got my strength back. My feet are somewhat numb but I can live with it. When...
post cancer fatigue

I had my last chemo treatment 3 years ago this month for stage 3. The first year post chemo, I pulled several muscles here and there that required physical therapy. The second year seemed to go better and this 3 year pretty well. But I have never...
Life Insurance

I have had a life insurance policy for over 10 years I took out at one of my jobs. I recently looked into changing it over to whole life. When I went to the new agent and told her my cancer history, she said it was very good that I had the insurance...
2 years out

Went for my oncology appointment today. I don't need to go back for 6 months and at that time will have another CT scan. Down side, I have gained 15 lbs since chemo ended. Alive and fat. ;(

why am I having such trouble on this site editing my photo? I use the average Jpeg size. I don't have this kind of trouble on facebook. Anyone out there know?
a new thought

It has been exactly 2 years since my chemo ended and I never felt comfortable thinking beyond one day at a time. Then just the other day, without even realizing it, I began calculating how many more years until I can retire. Seems like a normal...
off to California

I am headed from New York State to Sacramento and Redding California for a 3 week vacation and family reunion with several sets of cousins. I am so grateful I survived cancer and chemo and can do this. It's an important trip because life is short. 2...
spirituality

A lot of posts here refer to prayers, religion and such. I have my own belief system but as a social worker, I learned to respect where others are coming from and help people to help themselves with the tools that work best for them. I just wanted...
cancer is not my fault

I am kind of tired of feedback that I get that colon cancer is preventable with colonoscopies, diet, natural foods, vitamin D, exercise, etc. I have had people say to me, "I eat right". The news just reported when one of the Bee Gees just died of...
stopped thinking about it everday

One time, maybe on this site, someone asked if I think about cancer everyday. (I had surgery and chemo 2 years ago.) I said yes. But I just realized this week now I can say no. I actually think there were a few days this week I forgot. Now you are...
CT scan

I had a "routine" (after Stage 3c) CT scan last Friday. Haven't heard anything back so I'm going to look at it as no news, good news. It was 2 years since my surgery this month. Every day is a good day.

Mom had surgery yesterday to remove ascending colon where they discovered a very small early tumor. Probably has not spread but waiting for path report to confirm. At 83 she did better than me with the same surgery at 56! The real blessing here is...
my mom part 2

The colonoscopy showed a large polyp just staging into cancer in her ascending colon. They will have to take out that section of colon. Weird thing is, it's 2 exact years to the month of my Stage 3 ascending colon surgery and one day before my...

2 years to the month of my colonoscopy that revealed my bleeding tumor, my mom just had a colonoscopy today that revealed "a large polyp or small tumor that will have to be removed by surgury." It's in the same place as my tumor was; the ascending...

I started working out at the Y this fall in the Senior Exercise groups (all I could handle) and feel like I am not getting aerobically stronger. Same when I walk my dogs. Not feeling like going the distance. Feel out of breath and fatigued a lot....
