I am so so sorry and sad to see this devastating news. Words are inadequate.

Thank you all for your replies. Coincidentally, both DH and his brother have worked with pollutants, toxins, asbestos and both have been deep inside nuclear power plants for years. My BIL, for the past 2 years (while DH being treated) has been working on a billion dollar construction site where they...

Does anyone have any experience or information about popcorn lung nodules? DH came home from 2 year scan (results Dec 7) and got a call from his brother, age 42, that am xray due to bronchitis revealed both of his lungs are full of popcorn looking nodules and he will have a biopsy Mon. Of course he ...

Hi NZ Jay. Congrats on your fast approaching 3 yr cancerversary. You have given me alot of inspiration in the almost 2 years Ive been here and Ive been thinking of you a lot as my DH 2 year scan approaches. I hope you have continued good health and that your luck with the ladies improves! Keep us po...

Jan 12 will mark 2 years since DH cancer journey began. Life feels almost (dare I say the word) normal again. DH starts a new job Dec 1, which will be much easier on his body and a better salary. Our 6 kids are doing great, we bought a much needed new car, etc. We recently lost DH dad due to a massi...

I went to one in my neighborhood in September. It was very relaxed. Id suggest taking a lawn chair and cheering everyone on from the sidelines if you dont feel up to walking. You wont be the only one!

My DH doctor initially removed the bolus after 3rd tx due to poor liver function numbers. His last 2 tx were decreased by 20% due to neuropathy. Many members have had their chemo reduced for various reasons.

So sorry for the loss of your husband.

My husband also had 13 positive nodes. He is 21 months out from his diagnosis, has had clear scans since surgery, and the dr is talking about removing the port after next scans if they are clear. So yes, 13 is a lot of nodes, but that's what the chemo is for. From what I read, 80% of recurrences hap...

It is always a shock to read that a member has entered hospice. May their family have peace in these next difficult weeks.

Thanks for sharing! I still search out survival stories almost 2 years old. I hope to be inspiring people well into the future!

Just want to share my experience attending a colon cancer awareness 5k yesterday. I attended with my husband and our 1 year old (In a stroller). There were about 140 participants, but this was only the 2nd year at this location, so I expect that the number will grow each year. We had the opportunity...

A T3 N2b diagnosis is the same as my husband who also had a tumor deposit. It sounds like your mom is stage 3c. Note there is no M category, indicating no distant metastasis are evident to the pathologist. A PET scan may indicate further involvement (lymph nodes, for example). The chemo is a six mon...

I came across a new website in my Twitter feed called IHADCANCER.COM. Ibrowsed around a bit yesterday. It is not a colon cancer only website, but it looks like there are a lot of good articles about survivorship in general that may appeal to many on this site. Just thought I'd share@@

DH noticed this side effect last year too when he was on chemo ...mosquitos are back full force this summer, making up for last year!
