Thanks so much for the replies. I knew I could come back here and find some great opinions. He has been icing, heating, elevating and even soaking in Epsom Salts for two weeks. Maybe it, whatever it is, just needs more time. I panic too easily whenever he has something wrong that has no answers. He ...
Hi All...I've been on here so seldom lately but for all the right reasons. Hubby is a Stage IV colorectal patient two months shy of three years NED. We've been enjoying life and leaving cancer on the back burner. His last appointment the beginning of June was good and doc said see you in 6 months. I...
I come to this site every day and have for several years. I more lurk and read than anything else but your post brought me out of the woodwork. My hubby was diagnosed September '07. He was told he was inoperable, did his rounds of chemo, became operable, had surgery...was then told he should have th...
Hi All, It has been so long since I've really posted anything here. I feel a little guilty but hubby has done so well that we've just been gettin' on with life! I do still hang out here a lot and read all the posts. OK....to the point. My hubby was diagnosed in September '07 with Stage IV colorectal...
Cindy, I am just so very sorry. I want so badly to pull the right words out for you but I cannot come up with anything. I pray that you find some peace and strength in the days ahead and always. My prayers to your and yours.... Love, Janine
Cindy, I haven't posted on here in a very long time, however, I check in daily and have faithfully followed everyone's journeys as well as the one you have been traveling. I took care of my mom this past October for her last two months of life due to cancer. I feel blessed to have had the honor of b...
Leaving her human journey behind, she now travels into the Heavens to sing with angels. Please know, my heart is heavy as I say I am so very sorry. As I pray tonight, it will be for strength to hold you and everyone else who loved and cared about her.
For my husband, he is now 2 years since receiving the Oxy and he still has neuropathy. Some of the various remedies/drugs he's tried are Lyrica, B12, neuropathysolutions.com, all to no avail. His oncologist tells him that the damage is permanent for him. It's really tough on him during these cold Mi...
Just thought I'd throw one more positive tid-bit your way....hubby went to doc today and he is STILL NED...11 months now and he is coming up on his two years since diagnosis. Doc says that alone is beating statistics. I wish all of the best to you.
Matt, Hubby had colon/liver resection surgery in March "08 (4 tumors in liver). Next scan in June "08 shows a "new" tumor growing in liver. He did another round of Folfox with avastin, ended that Sept. "08 and has been NED ever since. Tomorrow is another 3-month check and we...
I had the exact same concerns when hubby was first diagnosed. My husband is a man who LOVES his beer. The first week of chemo he didn't much want to drink but the week off, he would drink as many as he felt like. I never pushed the issue with him. He is now 10 months NED and still drinking plenty of...
