Hi There, Wouldn't consider myself "cured" but diagnosed just over 2 years ago, with bilobar liver spread (about 15 little sh*ts) with a 6cm sigmoid tumour, and I'm still here today. I've just done round 30 of chemo (19 folfox, 11 of 12 folfiri) and am s**t scared sometimes. I haven't had ...

Hi Jennifer, I was in exactly the same boat as you early may this year. I started on Folfiri chemo mid april with my CEAs at 265, they went down to 170 and then jumped up to 190 something from memory in the two weeks between.

Hi Ade, So sorry you and your husband have to go thru this too.... I was diagnosed at age 30 (28/08/09) with Stage 4 Colon Cancer too. Initially it was explained to me as being something I would have to go thru, but would beat. My surgeon explained the operation, and that I would have to go thru the...

Hi Tammy, what a cool idea! I Don't have any tattoos but have always thought about gettting one, just a little one meaningful ya know! I like the idea of a wee blue ribbon, and maybe a little butterfly flying above it. (Getting ideas here!!!!) Like a tribute to what you've been thru and something be...
