dear stressed, vent and vent and say what u need to say, to all those u need to say it to! Ask for help if u need help. I've been there and back, and somehow it all works itself out. It takes a little time, think positive thoughts, eat even when u don't feel like it, and drink plenty. your body is l...

I went with the oxi, and i'd do it again, the treatments the surgeries and the side effects, are all like a bad dream when i look back now. But 6 1/2 later I'm as good as new, Ned since my liver resection in 8/04. the oxi or the avastin killed all the cancer that was present in my liver. I was able ...

Sorry, I had no special diets, I ate like I was having my last meal , at every meal. I drank Arizona green tea , I read somewhere it was good for you! I ate Mc donalds, DD, and all the other major fast food chains. I gained 50 pounds between the 2 surgeries and 12 treatments. I wasn't looking too fa...

Six Years ago today I was Dx with Stage IV Colon Cancer. A huge tumor in the Transverse colon and numerous Mets on the liver. After 2 surgeries and 12 treatments, I have been living treatment free for 5 yrs and 2 months. What seemed like it was a nightmare at first, has turned into a few uncomfortab...

at age 47 i had the whole right lobe removed due to numerous large mets. I was cut from the left side of my stomach to the right side in an upside down U shape. I woke up in ICU with the tube in the nose, which is nothing, you don't even know its there, 2 drains on the side and of course iv's. I was...

I debated also, but i am now glad I decided to finish them all. So my fingers are a little numb, and the feet ache once in a while, and I swear after almost 5 yrs off chemo, every once in a while I get that razor blade feeling in my throat from the oxi, I think its gods way of reminding me of to be ...

I sent you a PM regarding your request. Terrytech

i just gave them the pet scan report that showed I had mets, it was the first scan i had. they'll go back to when you became stage IV. good luck terrytech

I receive SSD which means I worked and paid in enough quarters, SSI is for those who never worked or didn't work long enough to get SSD. I was Stage IV at Dx ,so when I finished treatment and could no longer perform my usual job, I applied and was given retro money back to the day of Dx. I only had ...

On march 16th 2004 I had a colon resection, In April 04 started folfox 6, stopped July 04 to prepare for liver resection or right lobe...

I think at one point I kinda gave thought to the same question, but when weighing my options, which was, between fixing another computer, which is what i did for a living, or living, the answer became quite clear. four year after finishing chemo and being NED, yea, the cold still hurts my hands and ...

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I know it's crazy, we put so much into the worrying about our illnesses and then you hear of perfectly healthy people losing their life, whether it be through acccidents or some strange turn of events. I think the time we spend on this earth should be spent wisely. W...
