i wasn't aware that people didn't finish it.

You sound like you are only a few from the finish line yourself???Hope the rest of your treatments are uneventful. Me too!!! If all goes according to schedule, my last session will be the monday/tuesday after Thanksgiving. Yay! You can ignore my other message was just a little desperate to know som...

So they are stopping the oxciliplatin all together now, and he is discouraged. What happened to your treatment since the allergy???.. Well when this happened to me, it was during round 8 out of 12 rounds. The way my onc explained it - he said that at this point, i've had 8 successful rounds w/ the ...

Don't thank me, it's chemo-brain. Ha Ha! I have a slightly funny story - not long after my complete colectomy (dx'd w/ stage 3 colon cancer in feb) i was lying in bed at 7pm. We had just put our daughter to bed, and my wife was getting ready to take a bath. Well as i lay in bed, she comes in the roo...

i for one would just love to see a study that comes out and states: "Chemo Cause of Incredible Sexlife, patients report 100% Increase in Satisfying Sex" Or: "Chemo - Increases Blood Flow to Lungs and Heart, More Cancer Survivors Climbing Mt Everest than Ever". Hell, i'd settle for: "Cancer Patients ...

Sounds good lee.

Hey Lee,

I live down in the town of Maricopa. It's about 25 miles straight south of Ahwatukee. My wife and i lived on Chandler Blvd & 32nd street for a while prior to moving down here.

cats, You can chalk my absence up to good ol' chemo-brain. This summer proved to be a lot more of a challenge (thanks to cancer/chemo) than i thought it would be. I had to battle some demons, get on an antidepressant, get some counselling etc etc... But now things are much better, just ask my wife!!...

HA! I just got this message from the Gestapo: "Your account has been suspended for the following reason: inappropriate post" I merely posted the same post over there as i did here. It is my opinion that they are engaging in intelectual irresponsibility. THat board could be so much more yet they insi...

man, what is the deal w/ the moderators on "that other" board??? If we are to not post personal info, then WTF are we to talk about? Catching butterflies andf brownie recipes? Isn't it supposed to be a place to get support, information, and love? (concepts that seem to be lost on the admins) How are...

i had the same issue a couple of weeks ago so they just postponed my session by 1 week which seemed to do the trick.

It started out at 3.1, then 3 months later 1.7, now 6 months efter dx i'm at 0.5! I know anything can change, butthis sure makes me feel good about my health.

I told my wife that i found a study showing that sex (specifically oral) significantly cuts down on reoccurance rates. She doesn't believe me. "Why not be on the cutting edge of medical evolution" i said to her. She still isn't buying it. Not even the "how can you turn down a cancer patient" works. ...

Thank you eileen. Yes, it's 3 down, 9 to go. Luckily i've have many more good days than bad, but 1 bad day seems to more than make up for the good ones it seems. But then again i think i'm just being dramatic. I hate being in that constant state of "searching". Searching for that one thing that will...

Today has got to have been one of the worst days i've had in a long time. I've never felt so close to losing my mind as i have today. I'm ok now, i've worked through the pain n stuff, however i don't know how i'm going to get through the next 4.5 months of chemo if things keep going like this. I kno...
