380 days ago, Holly was diagnosed with Stage III colo-rectal cancer. I am ecstatic to report today that the PT Scan that she had last week showed no traces of cancer in her system.
We are still in a bit of a haze of happiness, so I don’t really know what to write beyond that.
Thank you very much for all of the inspiration, help, support, guidance, caring and everything that everyone from this community have given us throughout this ordeal.
I’ll write more after my head clears a bit. In short, this is just the beginning of another chapter that is our life with cancer. We still have blood tests, PT Scans, colonoscopies and the worry that it could come back.
But like so many other people who have fought through this, we have survived. It was a really, really rough year, but Holly is a fighter and a survivor. I’ve never been so proud of anyone in my life.
This is wonderful news Schnaarzy! I hope you guys are popping a few corks tonight!
Love and postcards,

Wow! I am so happy to hear this.
My husband Ross (on the “Up Yours Cancer” flickr page) is doing well. Disease free, but still must endure another 3 months of chemo. He was stage 4, did three months chemo, then surgery, & now - 3 more months of Folfox + Avastin.
We cannot wait to be where you are!
And together we can reach that 5 year, cancer free mark! To your health!
Kim & Ross Thomson
Oooops! I already commented here. Forgive me I thought I was commenting on a later post! Still, it is certainly news worthy of an extra positive comment, no?
The best to you and CELEBRATE!
I cured my stage 4 cancer in two weeks, nearly 10 years ago. It’s my mission to share how I did it to as many people as I can.
