Thinking of you Jess, stay strong!

It sounds like your chemo regimen is similar to mine. I did not have to wear a pump at home, they did the infusion in the hospital and it took me approximately 3-4 hrs, once a week for 8 months. The only difference was they put the Leucovorin in a bag of IV fluid and infused it for 1 1/2 hrs then th...

Remain strong Jess. Hopeful thoughts are with you.

Jess, I rarely write in, but I have followed your posts since your diagnosis. You are a very brave woman and a wonderful mother. You can feel the love for your family pour out of your posts. I'm so sorry for your news. I hope the radiation can bring you some relief from your pain so you can have mor...

Hi, I was diagnosed as the same stage at age 43. I chose to do the chemo and have never regretted the decision. It went by fairly quickly and wasn't too bad. It was certainly worth it if it keeps the cancer from returning. So far, I'm 8 years out from diagnosis and clear. You just have to weigh the ...

I chose to just see my internist. I still get a colonoscopy by a gastroenterologist (now every 2 yrs) and...

LOL, like looking in the mirror. Definitely been there!

I couldn't agree more!

Hi Sungold, I live over in San Francisco. I saw that Phoung wrote to you, I'm sure she will be a wealth of support, resources and information. She is wonderful. I was only Stage 2a, so I have not gone through the treatments that your husband is going through. I recently had my colonoscopy at UCSF Mt...

You guys should really take this on the road!

I had the uterine ablation also after the hormones didn't stop my bleeding. It IS wonderful not having a period. It did feel so much better getting my hormones back on track too. My progesterone had completely fallen out to nothing. My estrogen followed a few years later. Whether or not the chemo wa...
