I was diagnosed with breast cancer two weeks before my CRC diagnosis, so the suggestion from my surgeon was to do both at once.

I'm going to start some acupuncture next week. I'm 4 months out from last folfox and I'm really numb.

I had ovaries and tubes removed at the same time as my sigmoid resection. I had breast cancer too, so they removed my ovaries because my cancer was hormone sensitive.
