Hi all, I wanted to stop by and read some posts and say hello. I also wanted to share something with you all. About a month ago I started eating Keto. Since then I have not had any urgency issues or accidents. I feel almost back to the way I was pre Cancer days. I'm not sure if this is "new&quo...

I had my Illeo reversal in 2009 and I recently had a conversation with a friend telling her what I can NOT eat. She said "so what exactly can you eat?" Veggies.. nope depending on which ones, they go right through me fruit.... nope instant diareah fatty foods... nope stomach cramps and the...

I have been thinking of doing this as well. Having no rectum makes it a challenge for sure. Heck I dont eat any veggies anymore because of it. I think this is a definate for us.

Can you call your mortg company and see if they will work with you?

So, I go to my surgeon for a check up. As I am "in the position" and she is examining me (God do I hate those exams) she says "you have a perfect anus". LMAO!!! I have no idea what the proper response is to that but, I said Thank you.... I think. Doc said no hemroids, fisures, an...

Yes it is bile, and normal. Its amazing how we pay attention to colors after all this. lol Glad your able to keep things under control. Sounds like you have a good handle on it. I found that the second I put something in my mouth I started to have output, so mornings were my time to do things outsid...

Hi Pete, Glad to hear things are going pretty well for you after treatments. The numbness and tingling (neuropothy) is from the Oxi. This is a typical side affect and it can also cause Cold induced neuropothy as well. What is does is it builds up in your system over time of the chemo and does gradua...

I want to add to my post that it took some time to get to this point, each day was a learning process.

8.5 there are days I say outloud I hate my body. But in all honesty it is doable it really is. I have NEVER said I cant do something because of my plumbing. I can work, go to the zoo, work in the yard, go to family and social functions. I was very worried about the reversal too. I put it off a few m...

Hi everyone, I read frequently so I try to keep up with progress. I have been keeping my self pretty busy lately. CT was clear, and Colonoscopy was clear. I got my port out and now I feel kinda lost. While I am so thankful for my results and progress I guess I have a slight separation issue. I am so...

7 There are days when I wish my life would be diffrent. I get butt burn, I have accidents, cramps. Its just bad. It has affected my intimacy with my husband, it has kept me from doing things I want to do. Then, there are days when I can do just about whatever I want. I can go run errands, sporting e...

YES!! I am seeing a specialist who says I now have Osteo Arthritis. Ok, so maybe I do but my hips especially are so messed up. There are times when I have trouble walking. I have a dull ache most of the time. I go back to my specialist this Thursday and I want to discuss more options for managing th...

I feel your pain. My husbands pay check has been garnished due to my bills, that on top of his company cutting his hours 8 hours a week is killing us. Our house is currently in Forclosure, our main car just blew and engine. We cant seem to get ahead. I saw my Onc in October but they wouldnt do my la...
