I got colon cancer when I was 31. I had a one year old son. I was very happy, but very tired, and when I got to the hospital I needed a lot of blood right away. The tumour was the size of the surgeons hand. I But I was lucky. I got surgery, I got Folfox, I got out of there. I cried a lot, one day I ...

Hi, I was lucky to get pregnant just 6 months after chemo with the second child. Its a little bit more than three years between 1 and 2 and its perfect, I think. :) And yes, I realised Sweden is a good country to live in after being sick and having children. My husband was home for one year with kid...

Thank you all for sharing our happiness!!! Here is a picture of big brother Vilhelm seeing his little brother Olof, only a few hours old, for the very first time: http://www.lyx.bloggagratis.se I wasnt told anything else than to wait 6 months after Folfox, I guess the important thing is that we were...

Fiancee is a girl, right? Well, I mean my husband-to-be, fiance?

3 years ago I was really pale, thin, my heart was beating really fast and when I got to the doctor I was just crying because I was so tired and I knew something was very wrong. I ended up in the emergency room with oxygen and blood transfusions, about 10 bags. 2 weeks later I had surgery, the tumour...

Ive also done it. I did it once when I walked from the train station to my home...I was about 5 min away...once when I just had picked up my son from the day care center and was biking home...and once when I was in the basement picking up some garden furniture. It really sucks, but sisters and broth...

In august it was 3 years since my dx and 1 year since my youngest son was born:) Everything is fine with us, sometimes I still have to RUN to the toilet but it usually works out. I wish you all th...

Hi guest, Im also 1 1/2 year from chemo and Ive had pretty much no problems during the spring but now after I gave birth it started again. Its not so easy to be shopping for example with a 3 year old and a baby and suddenly have to run to a toilet. So far I have not done it, but maybe I just have to...

I was 31 at diagnosis and I was breastfeeding, so my menstruation had not returned since pregnancy.

When I was diagnosed I quit breastfeeding and when I started chemo my menstruations came back:)

6 months afterwards I got pregnant!

Congratulations! We´re in a similar situation. I got pregnant about half a year after Folfox and got my baby a month ago. The pregnancy was normal and nothing is wrong with little brother!

Its hard to believe this has happend. Its amazing - life and death.

Enjoy!
