So happy to hear this. My husband is a 50 year old firefighter diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer w liver and lymph mets. Started as a stage 1 polyp found on a routine colonoscopy last year. Resected. After 9m clear scans he was ready to return to work 11/24 and it came back as Stage 4 in Sept 2024. He is on FOLFOX, first round caused a perforated gut. Had to get a colostomy and that was hell but now on 5th chemo round just completed and scans next week. Anyone reading this PLEASE send the stars to also eradicate Ned’s cancer (that is actually his name - I know, it HAS to be meant to be that Ned is NED. Oncologist’s plan is for liver resection in March depending on scan results. Also have to deal with rectal polyps still and 2 lymph nodes etc BUT liver first (small tumor under 2”). He I believe is a candidate for Vectibix or the “IR” in folfironox but the surgeon wanted just folfox until after surgery any advice and prayers or good energy thoughts are welcome. We are in Boston and go to Mass General. Sending you love for your results and love your sharing your journey (as I do all of your readers stories).
Great news, so happy for you and your family!
Hooray!!

Fabulous news, long may the NEDs give you the nod! (Fingers crossed I can halt my stage 4 mBC progression with my next scan too). 🤞🏼🙌🏽
