Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 I think that there are two places to check: 1. Got to the Colon Cancer Alliance webpage (www.ccaliance.org). They have a link for survivors of Stage IV disease. I went there when I was first diagnosed and left believing that I could be cured. As these stories tell, there really is good hope for each and every diagnosis of a cure. 2. Believe it or not, look back through the posts on this board - there are at least a couple of Stage IV personalities (two come to mind right off the bat) that are either NED or clearly on the way to NED.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 HI Joe, I don't know if the Alliance also has a phone partner program but I was the one who posted about the phone partner program. If anyone is interested in a phone partner email me directly psavary@... or call me at and we can set up a phone partner for you. Phone partners are people who had a similar diagnosis and are within 5 years of your age and are through their treatment successfully. Priscilla A.
