Hi All, Haven't posted on here in quite awhile but I have an update to post for Kathryn. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks! Angie Kathryn Finn-Blume 2 hours ago via mobile · Edited Hospice services have been nice. I am so glad to be able to be home. I had an incredi...

I agree...you definitely want to be "out for the count" for your resection. My first resection took approx. 4 hours and I couldn't imagine being awake for that long of a procedure. Good luck and congrats on the little one!

When I had my 2nd resection last January, my gastro surgeon found CC on my bladder and called in a Urologist to work on it while I was still in surgery. A 4 hour surgery turned into a 9 hour surgery. I became a member of the teeny tiny bladder club. :lol: Anyway......because of the extent of my surg...

Hi Bev! I guess we could call it "The Whack A Mole" game. :lol: I am doing Folfiri w/ Avastin. I've done this one before and I respond to it. Couldn't do Folfox again this time because I've still got neuropathy in my feet and a little bit left in my fingertips from last summers chemo adven...

WooHoo on the clean scan!!!! I think we all know where every bathroom is between home and everywhere we go.

Thanks Lorrainem.......Good to hear from you. And yes I feel like a chemo vet. I keep telling my nurses and Onc that I am a professional at this and I'm going to apply for a job there. :lol: Hope you are doing well! PainInTheAss....I think I like calling you Newbie better! :lol: To answer your quest...

Hi All! Been a while since I've been on here to post, even though I'd pop in to see how everyone was doing. I see a lot of new folks on here and happy to still see lots of "old timers" as well. :D Well......I'm playing the "whack a mole" game once again. I have had my 3rd recurre...

I was originally diagnosed a Stage 111C, but am now a Stage IV. CEA has never been an accurate marker for me. I have a CT Scan done every 3 months. Even when I was "cancer free" for 2 years, I still got a scan every 3 months. I am thankful for the diligence of my oncologist because without...

Lisa, I agree with Bev. Good for you....living life and celebrating life's milestones. That is as it should be. I probably would have put off a scan (temporarily) myself. But now is the time to get that scan back on the schedule. I don't like getting scans but I get them every 3 months. Better safe ...

Hey Cr Guy!

Haven't been on here for a good while and what awesome news do I read first? Congrats on this new opportunity! I think you will make an awesome teacher. Follow your heart and it will be the right decision for you. Hoping for unremarkable scans for you and your Dad.

Angie

So true! Perspectives change don't they? I love birthdays!!! Happy Belated Birthday to you and wishing you many many more!

Angie

Well said Bev!!!!

I watched the interview on the national news earlier tonight. It was short and sweet at the end of the broadcast but it showed Nathan and his parents checking the mail and he is so excited at how many cards he is receiving. The neighbors have even decorated their homes outside and put up their xmas ...

Hi Everybody, This is off topic from CC but this little fellow lives in my area and I thought maybe we could all send him a Christmas card. I know we did this last year for one of our own so lets spread a little joy to this young boy too. Sorry I don't have the news link highlighted, I find I'm not ...

Another new angel in heaven now. You will be missed Rick. My sincerest condolances to you Mindy and family.
