Default My Health

Good luck to you and best wishes during treatment.

As I write this I sit in a chemo haze myself after recieving my final dose of folfox yesterday ( I actually still have a waist pump on right now till tomorrow). Since April 14 of this year I was laid off of my job of 15 years and recieved a diagnosis of stage III colon cancer seven days later. I have to admit I may not have always been positive during the past months, but my loving wife and 10 year-old son have given me more than enough reason to fight and stay positive more than I ever thought I could. Kudos to you for keeping the faith. Now, I see hopefully the light at the end of the tunnel, slightly lighter for having to give up my entire large intestine to this issue, and having to relearn a lot of what I have taken for granted. In three weeks I will get the latest MRI, and am positive I have this thing beat for now, and am looking forward to reclaiming my life. (and returning to the working world so I can restart my collecting full force again. )

As I know the survivors all know, this thing can be fought. Good luck.
