  Hi Tyrone:   I just noticed this was you -- how are you?   Never did hear what your doctors said about surgery, etc. If you want to share that information. Love Sandy

  Did you have the cancer in your colon removed?  Yes it is a tough diagnosis to get, its a tough battle, but life and family are worth fighting for. Many prayers will come your way by staying connected to this site. Love Sandy

  Is your husband still alive?   What was his name?   I wonder if I communicated with him when my husband was first diagnosed or you  ---   the last name Lucas is very familar to me.  You are right success is measured in so many ways.  I was so proud of my wonderful husband and the way he handled his illness and the joy he always brought to me Love Sandy

  I think you can just live each day as you get it and if you are having a good quality of life in order to enjoy your days, that is sure a blessing.  My Ron did not survive this disease, he fought very hard.   2 years 9 months.   I will pray for you, I have seen others surpass 5 years so let that be your goal, a step at a time. Love Sandy

  Please ask your doctor about your ostomy reversal.  I know they like to do those within 3 months of having the ostomy.  My husband got delayed and all the rest of his life he was miserable with bowel issues and were told it was because he could not get the reversal done in the first 3 months.  Sandy

  I would look into sir spheres or cyber knife with only 3 small tumors or a resection if they are in one lobe only and not near any major vessels that would prevent resection.  Continuing with chemo for all those months to come will only give him more side effects and make him weaker.   Sandy
