Eric, you truly are an inspirational guy, even if that is not your intent. I have followed your story for almost 6 years now since I was first diagnosed and started lurking around the Club. I have enjoyed your many posts and opinions over that time and I very much enjoyed that blog post. Whenever yo...
I was 38 when I got diagnosed with Stage 3c colon cancer, that was 6 years ago and I am still in full remission. If you need any stories from that perspective I would love to share them with you.
I am very sorry to hear the amount of confusion and frustration you are having to deal with, I hope it get better for you as time goes by. I will state the obligatory "I am not a doctor" stuff, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night! :wink: With that out of the way I can relate to you ...

Everyone is different, but I had Zero success with Lyrica and Neurontin for my neuropathy. I am 5 years out from treatment with Surgery and FolFox and my feet still hurt like crazy without medication. The wonder drug for me was a new pain killer called Nucynta (tapentadol). It is a wonder drug for m...
The best advise my father ever gave, start using an anti-bactiraial soap like dial every night in the shower and you will never have this issue again. I suffered for many years before I asked my dad when I was in my 30''s! Good luck.

I developed Diverticulitis at the end of my Folfox treatments. I had never had it before, and it cleared up and has not returned in almost 3 years since. I suspect there was a connection to the treatments I was having, but I had/have no proof. Good Luck, I hope it clears up for you quickly and you a...
I just wanted to share some good news as it seems that there is always plenty of bad news to go around with this terrible disease. I had my three year colonoscopy today and was given the all clear! It has been about three years and two months since I was diagnosed with Stage 3c and today's good news...
