Re: under 50 and stage 3 or 4? --patients and/or caregivers

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.

Re: Neuropathy

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).

Re: What to use for jock itch?

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 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...
