My mum is having a temp stoma and i think she accepted it alright. It is about 3 months from the surgery and she is able to take care of the stoma by herself. We did encountered lots of difficulties at first like red skin but we manage it well afterwards. 3 tips on that: 1. find a bag that is suitab...

I am so sorry to hear that. I think you may find second opinion for you dad because there are still lots of things can be done for stage 4 patients. As long as he is willing and able to eat and maintain weight, I do feel there is hope for healing. My mum was diagnose with stage 3 rectal cancer on Ap...

Thank you. My mum has been discharged from hospital and now rest at home. The doc said her stomach is rely sensitive and asked her not to have cold drinks right after chemo next time. She now looks better and gradually recovers the appetite, but the next round of chemo starts very soon. And she is g...

My mum has completed her first round chemo of Folfox with Avastin on 11/9. She has drunk quite a lot of cold drinks such as juice and sports drink after coming back home from hospital.

Hello. My mum is a stage 4 patient with multiple lung mets. She has just started the first round chemo for Folfox and Avastin, which we hope the lung spots are going to disappear for the best outcome.

Thank you. My mum has come back home for 3days but she is suffering from diarrhea these days and that rely troubles her since she feels the discomfort quite often. She is also having a stoma which made her annoyed. Hope everything's fine with her and your mum.

So sorry to hear this news. I will pray for your family. Take care.

I just wanted to say that I am now 2 years since rectal surgery and i am cancer free. In my scan in May, there were a couple of lung spots under watch (i had a bad cold when i was scanned) but 4 months later the scan is clear. I have a rare genetic mutation which predisposes me to multiple cancers,...

I am sorry to hear that. I have also heard that chemo may lead to CEA increase. As long as it is within normal range, it may not indicate any growth or mets of cancer. As for the bone pain, I guess it is better to ask your onco and see what are the possible explanations. It can be some side effects...

So sorry to hear that. I am from Hong Kong and my mum has multiple lung nodules as well. We are going to have another Pet Scan to check what they rely are.

UPDATE Today I have receive the lab report from the onco, and it saids my mum has NRAS mutation instead of KRAS. I know basically it represents the drugs still cannot be used on her, but I am just hoping if there are any differences between KRAS and NRAS that makes NRAS mutation "better". ...

Thank you for your replies. I hope my mum is doing well. What we rely want to do is to remove those spots in lungs by surgery but most onco said impossible. And we cannot afford tre
atments outside HK so we are rely hoping Avastin can remove those spots, even it is difficult. Prayers to you all.
