    Congratulations on the clean scan! Sorry about the other crap, but at least a fatty liver is treatable, yes?
    I'm reading your posts but my brain isn't seeing where you are off to- hopefully an amazing adventure? I haven't been checking in often and feel bad... I have been working and trying to have a normal life which works some days and others, well, some days normal is just not happening!
    I hope you are able to check in.
    Cheers to a safe journey...and being Better!

    Hi, better. If you saw my profile you know about me. DX stage 2. Grade 3. I finished chemo. Year ago, go in February for CScan. Right now I'm NED. Lasting effect from chemo is terrible neuropathy in feet and fingers. Think you will find the site really helpful if you participate.

    Thank you for following me! I went through treatments/surgeries for uterine cancers a few years ago but I am still closely monitored and followed up. I also have active stage IV breast cancer but I’m doing well! Good luck to you and God bless!

    As IronMom says "Don't look at those statistics unless you want to beat them. In March 2010 I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer stage IV . The Dr's said I had 4-9 months to live. Odds for any one living 5 years with EC at that time were 12% . I got a second opinion and had a new surgery, (I was the first patient that my Dr. tried this technique) The Dr's here strongly advised against the surgery saying that I had only 8% chance of surviving surgery. Obviously I beat the odds. In February of 2013, I began bleeding , and tests showed I had cancer. After a hysterectomy the pathology came back there was a large uterine tumor that had pierced the lining of the uterus probably at stage III but wait there were esophageal tumors in the overies, falopian tubes and uterus also. On April 1 2013 the Dr. told me there was 100% chance that one or both the cancer's would be back within 18 months. I did argue the odds down to 97%. I am at present "Cancer Free" This year if I can keep my cholestrol under control and avoid fatal falls I will be beating some pretty spectacular odds.

    My advice to you is right now the minute you read this start a plan for a healthy life. Make a nutrition plan ask to have your blood tests explained to you find out what your individual nutritional needs are and adjust your nutrition plan to fit them Make weekly menu's. Be sure your nutrition plan (I do not call it a diet because that has the word DIE in it and that word is not in my vocabulary) is fun and yummy. Next get an exercise plan that is fun and enjoyable. Witness the sunrise every day. Expand your mind, a book club, card club, or Bible Study group in other words step up your social life.
