That's ok sweetie It has taken 5 long years to get to this point on the

computer. I almost FLUNKED the course I had to take to get my Early Childhood

degree.

It takes a lot of trial and error to learn and starting out with a web site

will make you rip your hair out. Just send whatever you can right to me.

I am up to July 2002 which is about a year before Phil and I started our

journey

There is a lot of good stuff on the site about different members

Sam H. Cliff, Kathy O. and a's stories are good ones to read. As well as

anything with 's name on it. I also am tracing the history of the

different treatment options.

It is hard to believe that only 3-4 years ago there was no Oxaliplatin,

Avastin or Erbitux

and 5FU Leucovorin and CPT-11 in addition to surgery were all there was.

PET scans weren't common, colonoscopies were JUST being recommended at 50,

and Radio Frequency Ablation and other liver treatments were experimental if

offered at all!

We really have made a lot of progress in this disease but there is

definitely more to do

not the least of which is to keep getting the word out about colonoscopies.

Doing all that work all by yourself.

Today I didn't help you at all.

I can't manage to forward any message again. I have even tried to save it in

the computer, but there's no way. I have also tried doing coy and paste, but

it doesn't work out as well. Well, I gave up. But I am so happy that you

are doing so much. The messages are beautiful. Very touching and so

instructive. I really thing it can turn out to be a beautiful book. I am

writing from

the television set again. It isn't' as comfortable as a computer, but it helps

when you cannot use one.

all my love to you and to every one.

Good stuff, Narice...thanks for sharing, esp. since I just don't have time

right now to go read all those msgs...I really do appreciate your doing this

for us.
