Hey Colon Cancer Support fam. Just wanted to share – today marks exactly 2 years since my scans confirmed No Evidence of Disease (NED) after finishing treatment for Stage 3B colon cancer (LAR surgery + 8 rounds FOLFOX). It feels surreal. Still dealing with some lingering neuropathy in my feet and scanxiety is definitely still a thing, but mostly feeling incredibly grateful today. This journey is tough, but there’s hope. Keep fighting, everyone. This community was a lifeline.

    Awesome news, Michael! Congrats on 2 years! Quick question about the neuropathy - did it improve much between year 1 and year 2 NED, or plateau? Still got tingling from my chemo (FOLFIRI).

      Thanks James! It improved very slowly, mostly in the first year. Maybe slightly better year 2, but largely plateaued now. Mostly annoying numbness/tingling in feet, hands are much better.

        Less intense than FOLFOX stories maybe, but definitely there. Slow improvement is still improvement! Thanks for sharing the details. Congrats again!
