I can’t thank you all enough who have replied to my post. It amazes me how kind strangers can be to one another. It does give a glimpse of hope. I know it’s still early and I don’t have all the info but human nature seems to be getting the best of me always thinking the worst without all the facts. I’m so glad the responses I’ve seen have all been positive and everyone seems to be kicking this diseases butt! I will keep everyone updated and will be back with more of my concerns I’m sure in the coming days/weeks. This is all new to me so please forgive the rambling and carrying on.

Everyone of us here have stood in your shoes and can understand how you feel.Once you have all the test results sit and decide with clarity what you want,of course keeping all the latest options available to you.After the Pre op concurrent chemo plus radiation for 28 days for the stage 3B rectal cancer ,I had my surgery.I was advised post op chemo of six courses with a three drug protocol as per my Pre op PET. In the pathology my nodes had become negative for cancer.So I decided not to take the chemo which was supposed to give me a extra 10% five year survival.I decided on quality of life over quantity.By gods grace 8 years in remission now.Passing on my luck to you and will keep you in prayers for a good PET report
