Here to follow you. Seen a post on a support group for colon cancer stage 4. I’ve not been with the group long. My fiancé found out he had stage 4 colon cancer Mets to liver in May. We just had his third treatment this week. I’m praying and believing in a miracle for us.

So glad to have you here, and I hope some of what you read will be helpful as you continue to navigate the journey. When I heard the news, I never could have imagined how much happier I’d be almost five years later. This format allows the spoiler of knowing what happens next even as you’re on the roller coaster!

All the best to you both. ✨❤️✨

Hi! I believe you replied to one of my Qs, in a Substack thread today (or yesterday).

Thanks for your wonderful response...

I’m now here on this (your first post) to start reading your Substack! (I’m 47, and due for a colonoscopy - but quite scared about the whole thing. Your publication seems a good place to learn & be inspired.) Thanks!

I’m so happy that you’re here! I definitely feel like declaring my purpose and format helped me to get past the idea of “I don’t belong here with REAL writers.” I like the fact that I committed to posting on a regular cadence; if I was trying to be a “real” writer I am not sure I would aim for twice-weekly.

; )

Best of luck and hope you take away from this space what you need to push your own project forward!
