No I was very fortunate- no colostomy.
Had a scare of early metastatic disease- but turned out to be nothing.
I was very very lucky.
Actually my story has a porsche connection. I was getting my race physical, when I was found to be anemic. Again, no symptoms. Still riding bikes hard. Just thought I was getting older.
So if it wasn't for the porsche, my diagnosis would likely have been delayed for several more months- probably life changing.
Again, will be 10yrs this august and so far disease free.
Enjoy every day.
