Can anyone recommend a good book on anti-cancer diets? Anything you'd like to share?

From the American Cancer Society website: What does differentiation mean? Differentiation is the grade of the cancer, which is based on how abnormal the cells look under the microscope. Cancers that are higher grade or poorly differentiated tend to grow and spread more quickly. Colon cancer is usua...

What does moderately differentated
mean?

So I went back to the dr to check out this bronchitis- she said lungs are clear and doesn't want me to get an X-ray because I have been ctscanned and xrayed too death. After telling her about the resection surgery and the lymph nodes, she told me that I got a raw deal and she was sorry. "Wow. ...

Well I had my colonoscopy at 48-and according to the world, not supposed to even get one yet! If I waited I'd be in worse shape. You are right. Time to change doctors. I already feel like the grim reaper is at my door I certainly don't need this doctor making me feel worse. There needs to be a class...

Here's a question for all those with the fanny pack pumping folfox....do you actually hear the machine? Will it keep me up? Do you feel it?

benben, thanks for the readout. we are close to the same diagnosis..i was called at T3 N1 (scant invasion) M0 with 25 nodes and 8 inches of sigmoid colon removed. the tumor did not break out of the colon, was G2 and moderately differentiated the colonoscopy doctor said i was the, "luckiest son...

I thought the dr would push for 12 rounds. Even though studies show 8 is just as good. Because so many lymphs were involved with me, she wanted this to go directly into my bloodstream. She sounded like 12 was my number. I guess everyone's treatment is different.

Thanks for the well wishes! Today is the day. In just under and hour I will take my first 1000mg of Xeloda then get myself ready for my first Oxaliplatai infusion at 1000...chair number 5. Not quite my lucky number 3, but i will take it. i think of it as Goldschlager, the digusting alcohol we proba...

Sometimes blessing come in different disguises. I always say the best revenge is success. Best wishes for a happier and healthier life.

The results of my PET scan are in....I am clean! NO metabolic activity, no metastesis, no hot spots, no active anything! Not sure what that means exactly with chemo to start tomorrow, was too busy jumping up and down! Regardless, I have the port and I still want some chemo just to be sure...though ...

Received the port this morning. Right side and they have me set up for ready access tomorrow for round 1. I have my Xeloda and oral Ativan and Zofran as well. The port install was uneventful. It was much like the prep for my colonoscopy with the IV and review of what was to be done. Then it was a s...

You definitely will feel more in control when you start treatment. I understand you anger. I still worry. I have a 6 month scan next Monday so anxiety is setting in. There are so many on this forum with lymph node involvement that are doing very well. I cannot tell you not to worry. Please try to h...
