Yul Lose 4,309 Posted December 4 Thank .you everybody for your kind comments. Being diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer while on a business trip in Australia was a very frightening event for her and then when she got back in country it was verified. The last eight months or so she’s been through a lot and not once was she ready to give up. The treatment team in Cottonwood, Arizona have been incredible.

Yul Lose 4,309 Posted December 4 Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Yul, I can't imagine how you feel. Merry Christmas!!! I was pretty immature when she was born but I doubt the feeling then was anything near what my wife and I felt yesterday when she sent us the video. Wonderful indeed. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lawdog Dago Dom 923 Posted December 4 Awesome news! This celebration needs to be measured in days, not hours! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yul Lose 4,309 Posted December 4 One big takeaway from this entire ordeal is the importance of early detection. When she was diagnosed she was 42 years old and very active athletically, running marathons, jogging every morning, working out at the gym, etc.. She had never had a colonoscopy. Had she followed her doctors advice and had one done there’s a good chance they would have found it in its early stages. So pards and pardetts make plans to have it done if you’re due or overdue for a colonoscopy, it may save your life. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marshal Chance Morgun 531 Posted Thursday at 02:37 PM Thank .you everybody for your kind comments. Being diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer while on a business trip in Australia was a very frightening event for her and then when she got back in country it was verified. The last eight months or so she’s been through a lot and not once was she ready to give up. The treatment team in Cottonwood, Arizona have been incredible. Yes, being told " we found a tumor, it's cancer," was a shock. I was lucky. I went to the hospital for a kidney stone attack and they found the tumor. All I had to do was have the kidney removed. People like your daughter are the true survivors. Wonderful news for her and your family. God bless your family. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
