A man has been drinking, alone, all day at a bar. He puts down his G&T, and proceeds to check his clock. "1:30am, fuck. I need to go home now or my wife's going to ripp my balls off" - Thinks to himself. But as he's trying to get up, he falls awkwardly to the floor. "I'm just way...

I skipped radiation when it was standard of care for rectal cancer. All went well, so far. My unprofessional, biased advise is to avoid radiation if possible. It can mess you up permanently. I needed the radiation, but as Basil said, cough while you are being radiated, and even that can cause perma...

To all, Thank You ! Going through Cancer treatment is never easy ! One day I almost died, not wanting to go to the ER. It appeared I was in renal failure , the day before my birthday. With the support of many, especially those who had a sense of humor, I made it through. I tried to help where I coul...

Thank you my friend !

Thank you all for the welcome. Still waiting to get a scan scheduled, that is going to be my biggest issue, i am a control freak and I want this done Yesterday! It seems that having the mass lower is not really a good thing, am I correct in that? Colon cancer seems a bit easier to treat than rectal...

The N.Y.Times had an article that I recently read indicating that the FDA is considering restrictions on Immodium. The reason is that addicts may use this drug when their preferred illegal opiate drug (heroin, etc.) is not available. This is a HORRIBLE idea for patients that depend on Immodium to c...

At first when I came here you were a regular poster with a quirky wit.

I also thought you had the coolest name on here just in case you cared.

When I first came here, I didn't know the subject very well ! I joined just in case I needed the advice, and was glad I did !

Seven years ago I bought a new house, Yay! 4 months later I was diagnosed with colon and rectal cancer ? With the help of many on this website, I managed to get through treatment, gained stability, and made it to retirement ! I prayed a little for my wife to be financial free, That has happened ! Th...

A young engineer was leaving the office at 5:45 p.m. when he found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. "Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary is not here. Can you make this thing work?" &q...

The chemo is hard on the bottom. I had a blockage 4 weeks after resection and had to have surgery to remove scar tissue. My surgeon decided to reverse my ileo while he was in there. I was happy for the reversal but it made it much harder during chemo. Had alot of diarrhea. Same happened to me 3 wee...

Bev has been on my heart and in my head for a few months. Last time we 'talked' she had been deathly ill from kidney concerns from her diabetes. I think she said Diabetic Ketoacidosis. It had nothing to do with her cancer CURE. She would want you to know that her regular testing showed her still ca...

Still here after all these years, too many of my friends going through some of the same things, only different . I owe a lot to many of the people on this forum, Thank You !

Shana, to post a pic, you need to host the photo on a site like Imgur. From Imgur, you copy the BBCode, and past it here. Voila!! And confidentially, BS, I think you may be right, the apple is actually an asian pear. :oops: :oops: :oops: Don't know how that happened since we weren't supposed to get...

I have had a lung nodule all throughout my cancer journey, it never picked up any uptake on a Pet Scan. I still have it, and monitor on a occasion with an X-ray. It's still the same size. Many hospitals, are prone to give repetitive CT scans, to scare the cancer patient for 5 or more years. If you a...
