Re: To my CC family

I have been thinking of you. I was following your husband’s story because it reminded me of some of the things my dad went through. I’m so very sorry to find out that he’s passed away. Wishing you comfort in the days ahead. May your husband Rest In Peace.

My beloved dad passed on Tuesday in the hospital with my mother by his side. Today we buried him surrounded by the people who loved him the most. I just want to thank everyone here for the support over the years. This place has been a source of comfort for me and an incredible resource for my dad. A...

How to talk to oncologist in Canada about 2nd opinion

My dad was recently turned down for HIPEC at Mt. Sinai in Toronto. We are currently seeking second opinions and since my parents are willing to travel they have a consultation set up at Johns Hopkins. My dad will be seeing his current oncologist here in Toronto next week to get the results of his re...

Re: Cure for chronic fecal impaction

Magnesium citrate! My dad uses it along with restoralax and lots of prune juice. I am also chronically constipated as is my 2 year old. Magnesium citrate works for both of us. I take a full adult dose (depends on which brand you buy) every day. When I find it's not enough I will double the dose. Unf...

Re: Juicing and vegetarian diet

Hi. It's so great that you are supporting your mom through this journey. I'm also trying to be there for my dad. I think juicing and a vegetarian diet could be beneficial only if your mom can tolerate it. During chemo eating is tough, so she should really eat whatever appeals to her. My mom juices f...

Re: No to Hipec

I'm so glad to be a member of this forum! Thanks Lee and Maia for responding so quickly. This morning's news was a big blow to my family and I still feel a little like I've been punched in the stomach. However, you taking the time to offer advice is very reassuring. I've since been in touch with Ros...

No to Hipec

My dad was diagnosed with a recurrence in June of 2016 after an original 2b diagnosis in 2011. I will figure out how to update my signature today, I promise. He completed 12 tx of Folfiri and Avastin at the end of November 2016 in hopes he would be a candidate for Hipec, since his cancer has only sp...
