Re: Update with Traveler after Brain Surgery!

My mum (who has breast cancer) also had surgery to remove her brains met last summer, and within 2 hours was sat up eating and talking. regardless, what i'm truly blown away by is your amazing spirit. you (like my mum) are an ...

Re: Wow this is NOT fun!

after your first chemo, it's normal to think that 6 months seems like such a long time away - but as others have said, take one day at a time - before you know it, you'll be at number 3, then it's 6 your half way point, and from there on it, you're on the home straight to 12. you can do it, and if y...

Re: scared to scan

Eric, I wish I had the strength that you do, not to mention your eloquence
Grace, you're just a star as always
Thank you both.

I've emailed my onc, scan should be soon -- I just need to stop googling and convincing myself that shoulder pain must mean liver mets.

Re: FYI - new article on Folfox vs 5FU effectiveness

I was just about to chime in and say I remember reading the paper, and being surprised as to why they were publishing results after just 3 years. The MOSAIC study, which was one of the first studies to look into the benefits of adding OX monitored for 7+ years, and I remember my onc telling me that ...

Re: scared to scan

After continuing to bury my head in the sand for months, and ignoring my docs follow up schedule, I finally decided to request a scan. It should be in the next week or so, and will be my first scan in 16 months. I know I'm so stupid for leaving it this long. I'll keep you all posted when I know more...

scared to scan

I should have been back to see my onc in June, but I've been ignoring his emails. In short I'm terrified of going back and being scanned, and potentially of hearing that cancer has returned. I dont feel well, constantly have pains in my right side and generally feel like a shadow of the person I use...

All the best
