Congrats! Life is different now, but still great. We are victorious warriors.

Sounds like "No Evidence of Disease" to me!

After 25 years in AA, I decided to smoke pot. Worked great. Killed the nausea and gave me an appetite. No more after October, chemo done. No cravings. Needs to be legal. It is expensive but much more powerful than before.

See my signature for details. April 9 was the one year mark from my surgery. A CT with contrast was done, all clear. My CEA was "<0.5". Gave my onc some love, "You cured my cancer! You're the best doc around!" Hardest part for me was chemo, but thanks to y'all I knew what to expe...

Scan last week to check some lung stuff seen on previous scans. Results from MyChart: Impression The left posterior lateral subpleural 2 mm noncalcified superior segment left lower lobe nodule is redemonstrated on image 25 of 71 unchanged. Medial right posterior sulcus calcified granuloma unchanged....

Thanks for all the replies. It's getting better slowly.

Finished my infusions last Friday (23rd). 7th oxailplatin infusion was at 90% and the 8th at 80% because of numbness in my feet. The numbness would appear in earlier infusions butt go away. I have it now as bad as ever (though it is more discomfort than pain). Will the neuropathy go away after a mon...

Here's hoping. 8th and last infusion Friday. Prognosis is good.

Onc says my treatment is curative, 3 more rounds and hopefully a NED scan!

This is my fear, as my tumor was outside the colon. Surgeon got all he could, but it was stuck to the wall and that part was still alive on pathology.

I've completed 5 rounds of Xeloda and Oxaliplatin and it hasn't been terrible, but it seems different for everyone. It kicks cancer BUTT, though.

Same here, but I like it. Get up at birdsong and irrigate. Naps through the day.

Hot water works, thanks.

4th XELOX infusion went well, Doc thinks I'm handling this well. Kickin' it's butt again!

I bought a NutriBullet a couple weeks ago and love it, use it daily. Tomorrow Oxaliplatin awaits. I've been using frozen fruit, anyone know how to fix something I can tolerate with the cold sensitivity?

I'd ask my onc's nurses. I didn't have any watery eyes, etc. from Xeloda.

Looks like you may be going doen a similar path I've had this time. It's not been too terrible.
