Re: Any Stage IV currently in NEDville? Please share any advice or tips? P

Yes at first I was told that. Dr. put me on folfox with avastin (11 infusions) and I responded amazingly! The tumors shrank so much that my liver surgeon only had to take 20% of my liver. My colorectal surgeon said that if the gi doc hadn't marked the mass in my colon he wouldn't have seen it! I wis...

Re: Liver question

I only had a few non specific symptoms:
Itchy skin, slight annoying pain under my right rib cage if I laid on my left side, and the skin on was chest was always red like a sunburn but didn't hurt. I had actually asked about the discoloration and my doc said it was probably sun damage.

Re: Needing some information on lymph nodes

Mariane,
Funny you should say that! I was just thinking this must be scar tissue and thought that yoga might help. Good to hear from you again!

Needing some information on lymph nodes

It's been almost a year since my final surgery to remove my rectosigmoid colon cancer(stage 4). I think I remember the doc saying I had a positive lymph node. I've been having similar symptoms to the ones I had prior to discovering that I had cancer. This has been going on for about 3 weeks. I just ...

He's very hygienic, hadn't thought of condoms since I don't need birth control. That's a good idea.

Anatomy of the female body

I love being a woman but our anatomy is messed up! I never had a problem with uti's after sex but now it's getting ridiculous. I shower before, bathroom after and still I get an infection. Does anyone else suffer from frequent uti's after reversal surgery? Any suggestions for prevention other than a...
