Wow this is exciting news! I read about the pump when I first was diagnosed and my doctors all brushed it off as "old technology" and they all prefer what interventional radiology has to offer but I have always kept it in the back of my mind as some people do have really good results with ...

I am so sad over this incredible loss. Carmen was an incredible woman. Can't stop the tears from rolling...

I have Stage 4 and am a psychologist... I volunteered last year (and will again in August) as Kesem's mental health counselor while my 2 boys (then 8 & 10) attended the camp and it was an incredible experience... For them and me!

He responded to my inquiries by email but in the end his respons...

Totally agree with Kenny! I so hope you two are the poster child(ren) for immunotherapy in CRC - we soooooo need it!

I wish we could "like" the posts! Haha Kennytwisted!

Just had my 7th infusion of folfiri - we are holding off avastin for now but avastin didn't seem to do much for me... I agree atropine has been a must and it dries me up so much so I get the opposite of running to the can which I actually prefer... Having to chose between the 2 that is!... I also ta...
