Claudia, Could you please say where you were getting your treatment? From the format of dates in your signature, it appears that you are not in the United States. In the United States, there is no clear protocol for this situation and the patient is asked to make a decision. Different cancer center...

That was really good news! Happy Xmas!

Hi Mike,
I also have a Garmin and from my experience it is very easy to go both up and down very quickly with VO2 max. This is the effect of ice on the road:

Hi! It is always hard to run after a period of stop. Here it is very icy and I prefer to run outside with my dog while the kids are running indoor. So it is more a matter of balance and trying to see the slippery spots in the darkness.

It sounds like you don't have a bag if I'm reading the timeline correctly. It would be quite amazing if you could run as fast as you do with a bag on. There were a lot of things I didn't do for fear of it shearing off. I don’t have a bag (anymore). I ran a relay race in Oslo last year, just to prov...

Hi, I did not eat meat during chemoradiation, just a bit right after the surgery, because at the hospital we were served it. I did work well for me. We were adviced to eat what we like, I would add to be careful with fibers, because during chemoradiation the tissues can be irritated and it is easier...

Hi! The colostomy was reconnected when they operated the tumor and made an ileostomy instead. They used the same opening (so my ileo was on the left side).
