My husband was diagnosed 9/06 with Stage IV colon cancer that had metastacized to the liver and lungs. With surgery and chemo, he went into partial remission 9/07 and returned to work. Last month, he went for a PET scan to ensure no recurrence so he could have his port removed. Unfortunately, there was a recurrence in his liver. He's had to quit work again (indefiinitely) and resumed chemo.

I have no family or friends to speak of, and just wanted to vent and listen when the opportunity is given.

Take care all!

Hi MBK. I am so sorry about the recurrence of your husband's cancer. I too have very little family or friends but currently I show no evidence of disease. Certainly, we will try to be your friends through this difficult time.

You and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear MBK
So sorry to hear of your husband's recurrence. I too have no family here and a small network of friends who have their own lives and families to care for so we can support each other. This forum is a wonderful place for support, genuine understanding and friendship so a gret big welcome hug to you.

Thank you all for your kind replies. I am just so thankful there is a forum like this that we can all share, have a shoulder to lean on, and cry if need be.

Very Happy
