@margreet, my story is somewhere on this site. Diagnosed stage 4 colon cancer with metastasis in liver and pancreas. Had surgery march1 2019. Colon resection, liver resection, pancreas resection (wipple manoeuvre) and gallbladder removed because of gallstones. In June I started chemo. Had 8 sessions was very sick after that. Vomiting and diarrhoea was admitted to hospital and was there for 4 weeks until my bowels were back to acceptable level and discharged. Had every 3 month a CT Scan for a year and an MRI. Everything clear so far. Have my strength back and started my 4th year still cancer free and live a normal independent life . I am now 83 and am still checked out every 6 month. Am very grateful for the care and follow up of the medical team.

Thank you for sharing, Margreet. How encouraging that you are in your 4th year of being cancer free! Having a great care team is really key in going through this. Do you struggle with scanaxiety when going in for scans?
