I owned a beautiful Percheron mare for many years, thus my screen name. I had no symptoms of anything in 2021. I developed what my doctor thought was diverticulosis I took an antibiotic, and it went away, but my primary with whom I am very friendly said I don’t like the fact that you’ve never had diverticulosis before and you suddenly have it at your age I want you to have a. Colonoscopy. I went, and when I woke up and the doctor said he couldn’t get through with the camera that there was something blocking it, and he tattooed as far as he could go. Mind you I had already had a CT scan that showed a spot on my liver but didn’t show anything in my colon. To make a long story short I had a tumor the size of a baseball. I also had a CEA of over 300. The guy who removed the tumor in my colon did a really great job and resection to me. I had eight sessions of chemo I had a liver surgery at upstate in Syracuse New York that was very successful and then I developed some nodules in my lungs. I had another 12 sessions of chemo and my CEA, which was over 300 before my colon. Surgery is now 3.1. I am on xeloda As a maintenance drug and I seem to be OK. Of course every scan makes you bite your fingernails but generally I’m in really good health.
