Thanks to everyone who responded as I don’t feel alone anymore at all and I felt like I was the only one living in my world when everyone else is living in the one that lasts indefinitely and that’s hard. People think about the future and push things today off, because they have indefinite days in t...

I was diagnosed stage 4 at 36 married with 3 kids. I took this on like a champ and completed multiple major and minor surgeries and 2 separate rounds of chemo before and between surgeries, which knocked me down and I still mentally stayed strong for everyone. Had a huge scare with 2 blood infections...

I just had this surgery March 19th of this year. This was by far the worst one for myself, not to scare you but I’ve had LAR surgery before this which was much easier healing wise. I spent 7 days in the hospital after surgery alone thanks to covid! The pain was very intense for the first week but be...

Here I am 3 weeks post surgery and I’m still in some super uncomfortable pain but I’m dealing and it’s getting better and better every day! I’m able to do more and more every day still no sitting anywhere so I get super frustrated going from standing to laying all day

Have me second major surgery in the morning and nervous as heck! First one I had no clue what to expect so I walked in there like a champ, this time I know what I’m waking up to and walking in there like a scared cat!

Thinking of that poor baby!

Thanks for the reply it help so much to hear someone’s story! I have my father staying with me when I get home from the hospital while my wife is at work and my 2 teens are at school. He plans on staying as long as needed to help with the little one! I have not worked since my diagnosis day and I ha...

I had recently 9/19/19 had LAR surgery to remove tumor near sigmoid I think.... and put on temp ilio. I really had never had any major surgery before in my life and thought I was as health as an ox.. I walked right in there like let’s go, and boy was I awakened to hell!!! The whole experience the li...

Hi all, had LAR surgery in September of 19 which removed my sigmoid part of my rectum and colon, the pathology came back with positive margins going “south” not north so to say... the surgeon is recommending removal of everything going south hence the “Barbie butt”, and a permanent colostomy. My que...

Went back in today for blood work prior to scheduled chemo tomorrow and the results came back my platlets were now 158 but my white blood cell count down to 1178 and to find out my liver enzymes have sky rocketed all of a sudden and now they want a pet scan ASAP so now waiting for the call for that ...

Well didn’t go as planned as I have to wait till next Wednesday now as my platlets were too low for them to allow chemo again

So tomorrow morning will be my last bi-weekly poisoning of FolFox and I couldn’t be any more excited! 12 round of up and down hell! Now onto some surgical consults for the positive margins I came back with from the first surgery. Just so happy to say it’s over for now!

I don’t know how? Maybe send me one and I’ll figure it out?

Thanks for the insight Rob!! Looks like we’re the same age in the same sort of boat!! And looks like you have a lot of info and I want to pick your brain!! Looks like we’re on the same sort of treatment also both from the drs and on our own with the CBD/THC it’s the only thing keeping me have any so...

I am currently on a temp iliostomy as of September 19th 2019. Pathology came back with positive margins and now I am told after this round of folfox that I will have everything removed and put on a permanent bag. My question is had anybody had both and is one better then the other
