sweet, my best friends family is in Mt. Prospect.

and it's so nice to hear about the five year mark. rock on.

hahahahah! as if all we had to talk about previously was our cancer stories. don't pat yourself on the back too much friend, seeing as the word cancer was mentioned several time in every post since, and it is directly involving cancer. it's awesome when people try to give themselves so much credit f...

Bravo bravo. I was gonna mention the fact that a nonprofit's finances are pretty much open record, but figured that's more of your guys area to address than mine. boy, it's a good thing i don't have a real asscrack that allows me to get my panties in such a bunch over something as positive as a cale...

***disclaimer. I don't necessarily want to egg any of this on. so i'll post my feelings on tc14420's mssg. and then post a seperate response on a more positive note on my experiences. b/c i'd rather this thread focus more on the topic at hand which is the awesomeness that was the Colondar 2008 shoo...

and yet again, what exactly is reposting this supposed to do?

can't even login as a registered user to repost? this is pointless waste of bandwidth.

Well, it isn't standard procedures for all hospitals to leave the NG tube in. I did not wake up with one, but yes, a couple days after surgery when i started throwing up and wasn't even eating yet, they threatened me with putting the NG tube in. well, that sure put my vomiting to an end. no NG for m...

Sue, I was stage III, rectal cancer. I was diagnosed march of last year. yea, i did the oral xeloda, i believe i was taking 2 or 3 pills a day for five weeks. i did not get the hand and foot stuff i hear about. while i was on it, I told my doctor that my feet were peeling alot, and he said it might ...

yea, i was one of those that never got nausea. in fact, i still ahve my sample box of zofran sitting here (er, just in case?) i did 6 rounds, then had radiation with xeloda, a break, then had surgery, and finally 6 more rounds of chemo. and honestly, the first 6 rounds, barely anything. (eating and ...

i'm assuming you had your surgery laproscopically (since you said three small incisions) and don't worry, a puffy stomach is absolutely normal. in order to do the work with the instruments laproscopically, they blow your abdominal cavity up with air so they can see things in there better. i remember...

dude....WHO CARES?!? it's one thing to go pose for a porn site or mag...but hell, people get off to pretty much anything these days. i'm sure ANYthing you google could be attached to a porn site somehow. there's guys out there beating off to golden girls episodes! so anything is possible. and if ANY...

speaking as a future colondar model, I'm pretty sure we're all clear on how the internet works. We all found the colondar ourselves at some point, and even if it wasn't on the internet that we heard about it, i'm pretty sure all of us (when applying for it, or after being accepted) probably searched...

Aunt Marilyn...
Since I live in Chicago and had Stage III rectal cancer, if your nephew needs anyone to talk to, feel free to have him contact me.
I've been through it AAAALLLLLL.
heh, lucky me eh?

Top three colorectal surgeons in Chicago (in my humble opinion...and lots o lots of other peoples opinions to. These guys consistently get rated as the tops in their field. I've personally had consultations with all three of them. I could give you my experiences, but honestly, you'll have to meet th...

yea, it's a pretty well made trailer.
i've called and left a message for Kris...I was a bit jealous. It seems like the documentary I would love to make. but it's already been made.

shameless plug for my humble little blog....
