I was diagnosed exactly 1 year ago with colon cancer stage 3 w/metastasis. I am a 49 yr old woman, there has never been colon cancer in our family. They removed the tumor (3.5)added a colostomy which I wore for 8 months during which time I took chemotherapy for 6 months. I had a colostomy reversal March 2012. I just had my first 3 month (since surgeries etc.,)check-up w/my oncologist with blood work. My C.E.A. levels (cancer markers) were 4.3 (closer to zero the less chance of cancer being present). I want to praise God and his son Jesus the Christ for getting me through all of this in 1 years time, for helping grow my courage and strength both within and physically. So far I am cancer free ! Praise YOU O'Lord God Almighty and Jesus Christ my Lord.
