I'm so used to leaving bogus emails, it never occurred to me that I actually *want* to be contacted in this case...thanks for the fast follow up and glad to hear Holly's on the mend. :) Oops!

I am a 33yo vegetarian mother of one that was diagnosed with a T3/N1 rectal tumor at the end of November. Obviously, I read about your treatment progress with great interest. While it looks like I have an incredibly long row to hoe (with only 7 chemoradiation treatments under my belt thusfar), it's very helpful for me to get a peek into what the next year or so might look for me. Thank you so much for telling your story/stories and best of luck with your continued recovery. :) PS: Any advice you can give to someone about to embark on a colorectal cancer year would be much appreciated.

My brother was diagnosed with Stage IIIB colo-rectal cancer in May 2006 at the age of 50. Like you, he went through about 9 months of chemo. He is doing GREAT! Every CAT scan, chest x-ray, colonscopy, etc...has been picture perfect. He was running up and down the bleachers at Duke University about a month after he finished his treatments. So, hang in there Holly...there just might be some bleacher running in your future! Hi -
