Great news!
NOOOO polyps at all! That is the FIRST time that has happened at a colonoscopy since my cancer (5 of them, I believe). Every freakin' time I have polyps. He says I can go out to once a year now. Last time he told me every 6 months for the foreseeable future. Yay!
Thank for your support, guys!

FIVE years now cancer free.
Today marks the date 5 years ago I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, having half my large intestine removed & a complete hystero. I was so very blessed to have it be Stage 1 & operable, plus I did not have to have any chemo or radiation, for which I was/am so very thankful!! I will always remember how very supportive the folks in this thread were & the one special guardian angel I was gifted who came to be with me, having never met before, for six weeks. She went to hospital with & stayed with me there 24/7 for 2 whole weeks. Now that is a true friend indeed. We are still very close to this day and always will be. Anyway I am celebrating my victory over cancer, today & I will always be grateful for all of you here. Thanks from the depths of my heart & soul..I heart you all!!!!

A year ago today I had my last breast cancer treatment. This concluded 9 months of surgery, chemo, and radiation. I am so looking forward to starting my second year away from all of that. Today I have a nice day ahead with good friends coming for dinner. We hadn't planned it to fall on this day specifically but I'm glad we did!

I've been wanting to ask you about something for a long time, and I think that other readers may find your response here useful. Subsequently, I am not writing this in PM. After my surgery I became crazy nuts about eating vegan (plus shellfish...some people call this seagan), making sure all the foods I ate were also high in anti-oxidants, and went to see Dr. Keith Block (in Chicago), to do bloodwork to determine which supplements would be best for me and the doses. He has been doing integrative cancer work for over 35 years when no one else did (and are only starting to). His book Life Over Cancer is what I followed and as consistent with eating this way until a couple of years ago. www.lifeovercancer.com. I spoke about it ad nauseam on this thread as I very strongly believe in a mostly plant based diet and wanted all of my fellow "cancer survivors", to know about it. There is just too much data that tells us this. A lot of it is about inflammation. (I do feel a need to admit that a year and a half ago I moved away from being strict in my eating. The bulk of the reason for this is that my old partner, whom I was with during my cancer and for more than several years afterwards, already ate vegan (plus shellfish), and was wonderfully conscious of buying organic and choosing vegetables and spices that have a lot of anti oxidants. However, I don't do a lot of cooking (although I have learned a lot and do more now), and chicken is quick and easy (so I eat that quite a bit), and I sometimes eat diary (cheese). I also don't completely avoid sugar, which I know causes tumor growth.) Anyway... My recollection is that when you first came onto the site you had your own business working as a nutritionist or something or other that included how one eats and I believes supplements and the like. I believe that you eat vegan (or maybe I just assume it), and I know that you exercise regularly. You also seem to be conscious of the fact that part of good health is taking care of our stress. Since my belief is that the way you eat and live your life is the key to the avoidance of chronic and terminal illness (cancer, heart disease), I was very surprised to read that you had cancer. So, I need to ask if how you live your life is new, or if you have lived this way for a long time? I am especially curious how long you have eaten vegan/more of a plant based diet, as I believe that is the key to all of this. I believe that what we put into our bodies (especially what we eat), is what triggers or alternatively keeps from triggering, any predisposition a person has towards getting a chronic/terminal illness. Thanks for your response in advance! ha!
