This is the two year anniversary of my hospital admission at age 73 for the discovery of a malignant tumor the day before during a colonoscopy. They thought it was stage 4 and would require an ostomy; it turned out to be stage 3b and no ostomy was needed. My Folfox was completed in December of that year and so far there've been no recurrences.

Cancer has changed my life, my world view and made me aware of how lucky I am and how cruel this disease can be. All of you and the people who stand by your side are the true heroes. I wish everyone reading this the very best.
