OT: Health Update

Post by HighStick »

Just wanted to say I'm officially done with all my treatments and am cancer free. I've officially survived stage 4 colon cancer and stage 3 stomach cancer. Just wanted to thank you guys in here. A lot of you had nice words of support and encouragement and sent prayers. It all helped and I appreciated it more than you know. I didn't have much family support throughout this. On with life... Thank you guys! :D

Congratulations! Sorry to hear about the lack of support. If you don't mind, how did you beat it? It claimed my mother years ago and I since learned it's one of the easier cancers to head off through early testing, but I am curious how they're attacking it today.
