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.

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...
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...
