Jeanne: My last chemo was last June, and I still experience neuropathy mostly in my feet and a little at my fingers. I was told it could last more than a year with the possibility it never gets better. It really does not bother me, just it is a reminder that you had chemo. All other side effects are...

Sorry you had to join, but glad you found this site for support and learning from others who are going through similar situation to your husband. I myself have a similar diagnosis to your husband as you my signature below shows. Just like you, it was a shock to me, my wife and family, one day your a...

Tell your hubby not to worry about the delay. He has done and completed 8 treatments, and I was told by my Onc that there are currently studies that shows 9 rounds is just as good as 12. He mentioned that to me when I was delayed at the 10th round and it concerned me then, but he assured me that whe...

I had a physical at age 50 which I did every two years , the stool test came positive with blood in the stool, and then was asked to take a kit and test again , came back all clear. Everything is fine, nothing to worry about I was told. Eight months later I went for my first colonoscopy as adviced b...

Here is a pinch, heard a scream, no it is for real. Very happy for you, and hope you stay in Nedville town forever. Awesome news.

Best of luck Barbara, hope all goes well for you.

No, you are not overreacting. Most of us if not all had the same reaction to the news with shock ,disbelief, why me , and the fear of the unknown. You have a lot going for you and for starters you are young and that will make you go through chemo a lot smoother than most who have other medical issue...

Diane: I really feel bad for the not so good news, you were looking forward for the last scan and were handed the bad news. I think that the it might have been there but too small to be detected . On the bright side it is only one met, jut get rid of it and look forward to many years of NED. Keep po...

Way to go Jen, very happy for your 4 years NED, and hopefully forever. Just curious to know why you were staged 3C , I was staged 3B as my signature shows T3N2a. You have similar pathology finding to mine, should you not be at 3B?. Just wondering , and if I am correct, then you have good news to add...

It sounds like you are on your way to full recovery, wishing all the best. NED forever.

Diane: Very sorry to hear the bad news, I can understand how discouraging it is to go through three years and to be told something growing at the liver. I am very similar to your stage, and I do have four cysts on my liver. I would not jump to a conclusion yet, cysts do devolep overtime. If it is a ...

Sorry you have to go through all this raym, but it sounds like a good plan. I wish you all the best, let us know how it goes.

I did travel twice but had an antibiotic prescription just incase you do get an infection. My Onc suggested that I take it with me, I did use it once when I got a tonsul infection.
