Hi Squak, I had something similar I think, my pathology report said tumour deposits on the meso colon, when I asked what these were I was told they were isolated tumour cells, and that I was between stage 2c and 3a, but the surgeon said they were not really classified as lymph nodes. I had adjuavant...

Thats brilliant news, congratulations

Hi Angie, I too have a similar type of pain, it developed after my fifth or sixth cycle of folfox, I had a ct at the time and there was inflamation in the right side of my abdomen, the surgeon and onc both said it was proabably as a result of adhesions caused by my surgery ( right hemicolectomy ). T...

Hi Mike, I did not use Xelox, so cannot comment on it. I did have 12 cycles of FolFox, and while I had some problems the port and the pump were the least of them. The port really worked well for me as I had very poor veins because I was in physically bad shape as a result of complications from my su...

Hi Mel, I am so sorry that you feel no one is taking you seriously, have you talked to your parents or a family member you trust or maybe a teacher who will help you with this problem and advocate for you. Have you consulted your familly doctor, he or she should be able to refer you to the apropriat...

Had a CT scan on 2/25/2016, got a phone call from the Doc's pa today to say no change from last scan in Nov so still ned and will see Doc on 3/18/2016

Hello HopeForJesse, When I was on Folfox I was very tired and sleepy for five to seven days after infusion and would sleep for long periods. I was on Dexamethasone which helped with the nausea, but had to come off it as it made me feel very down, then went on Zofran which I found worked well except ...

Such good news, you must be delighted, hope there's plenty more to come

Thanks for replying Deb m, Yes I had genetic testing done, but it did not show up any predisposition to bowel cancer even though my mother died from it when she was 59 years old. We have four adult children, 30, 29, 26, 24, (we started young, being together 34years) two of them have had clear colono...

Good stuff

my husbands tumor was also in his cecum, which penetrated the orifice of his appendix. His cecum, appendix, 15 inches of colon(ascending) and terminal ilium were removed. He did not have a blockage though. He did his 12 hits of folfox and has been fine, ned for 5 years. His official stage was IIbT4...

Hi All,
When I was diagnosed with my main tumour in my cecum there was an incidental finding of a LAMN tumour of my appendix, which combined with the main tumour had caused a blockage of my bowel which led to my hospitaliziation, anyone else have similar experience?

Macpudd
