I am so sorry to hear about the challenging times you both are having. I hope that John will find peace and comfort through hospice...but still am holding out for a better outcome.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I had almost immediate relief from my "liver pain" after my first FOLFIRI tx...so I am a believer.

That is such great news!!! Enjoy NEDSville at Christmas - I hear it is beautiful this time of year

Hi Chris,

Hi Karen, Welcome to the club...I am at a very similar stage in my life as you- dx'sd at 30 (st iv) but only with one little one (18mnths). I also found that the hardest part is thinking that my little guy will grow up without knowing me and me knowing him. I can handle the thought of dying but not ...

Started with blood and mucous in stool..consulted Dr" Google and convinced myself I had hemorrhoids from just having baby. I casually mentioned this to my Dr. when I took my son in for a checkup and he got me a referral to see someone in 3 months to check this out- I did not mention the weightl...

Good luck with your last tx tomorrow..enjoy ringing that bell!
