Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I was diagnosed with breast cancer this past October, the week after my one year checkup for stage 2 colon cancer (which was clear) feel a bit cheated out of the 1 year celebration. Hopefully next year I will be considered a survivor of both. I would like to converse with someone who has had similar experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 , I am so sorry for this setback. I pray that you will be a 2 time survivor of this evil disease. Don't cheat yourself out of your celebration. You need to celebrate your victories, great or small. I will be praying for your complete victory. Stage 2 is very curable. Just hang with it and get a great team of onc, surgeon and any others you need on your team, so that you have the best chance of beating this monster. Will you be having surgery? What chemo are they going with? Try to get an onc who is very knowledgeable and up to date so that you will get the best care possible. May God bless you.
