Hi BeansMama,
sorry the last cocktail did not work, I hope and pray the new one will.

Nik Colon has given you the best advice. "PLEASE don't go by info from sites such as ChrisBeatCancer, etc. Diet and exercise are good but will not cure cancer." When I was first diagnosed I did the health kick to. My advise now would be eat anything and everything with moderation. Sound li...

Ugg what a pain in the ass. I feel for you and know exactly what your going threw.. Our colons are not meant to be touched and yours is obviously still pissed off at you. It does take a long time for it to learn its roll again. For me the big turning point was at five months. I do watch what I eat n...

Sorry your all itchy.
Been there done that. I would scratch my legs until they would bleed and then scratch some more.
I changed soaps,laundry soap and everything else.I used every type of lotion and nothing worked.
I finally got a prescription for HYDROXYZINE HCL and it worked in a couple days.

Hi CarolA, I think if you ask 100 people this question you will get 100 different answers. I remember signing a paper stating chemo can stay in your system for 10 years( dam I hope not) My last infusion was in march and it took 3 or 4 weeks to start feeling semi normal again. My feet did not bother ...

Batten the hatches reef the main sail. I hope Matthew does not affect you.
Hang in there.

All for nothing I think not. Hopefully the chemo radiation killed the tumor and now they just need to clean up the area and remove the burnt parts. Like my surgeon told me about this time last year. I scraped you out like a pumpkin. Have you tried switching to vaping ? I think it a good crutch to st...

Thank you for the update
I love reading positive posts and it gives us all hope.
Congratulations on five years, hope he is NED forever now

Two days after disconnect was always my worst day.
I would get chemo on Mondays,pump off on Wednesday and Friday was a crash day. I did nothing but get iv fluids and sleep all day and night. I think it was coming off the Dex. That caused the crash.
I V fluids helped me a lot

Hi Thubler, Welcome to the board there is a wealth of info here and people do understand what your going threw here. This is a good place to write your experiences so others newly diagnosed can find some hope and not feel alone. I'm glad your handling your treatment well and it almost over. Hang in ...

HI Cool Beansmama, Sounds like you got a good Onc. Looking out for your best entrust. I'm sorry you got a rash and hope it clears up fast. Hopefully with a small break you will gain some strength and make the next couple of rounds easier. You have had one hell of a year with all this cancer crap and...

Congratulations

Hi welcome to the club that no one likes to join. I'm sorry you had to find us here. Most of your questions should be answered by your surgeon so I would suggest you get a spiral notebook and start righting down a boatload of questions for him. You should have a pre-op appointment so make sure you f...
