I was first diagnosed in 2007, after surgery, chemo and radiation I was cancer free for 9 years. It came back in 2016 had metastasized to my bones and liver. I was given 6 months. I am on weekly chemo and still here. Yes I have my bad days but for the most part I still feel pretty good. My kids and grandchildren keep me going. I want to be there for them as long as possible and I don’t take anything for granted now
