Thank you. It just is unsettling when told you have a 80% chance of no reccurrance and less than a year out my whole world has gone into a tailspin. My children are young adults and haven't established themselves, their father died 20 years ago. Yeah google can be scary that's why I'm turning to peo...

Thank you Stu, that is encouraging. I'm 57 and actually in good health LOL or at least feel I was. I'm a fighter and don't might a struggle.

Thank you.

A little scared, ok maybe more than a little, my lung biopsy has come back positive. I don't see the doc until Monday and would like some shared experiences on what I have to expect. I have one positive nodule in both lower lungs both around .8 cm. I was dxed in October 2014, had colonectomy Nov. wh...

It's good to know that there are other options. I don't think FOLFOX worked for me :( Tomorrow I have the needle biopsy, both the oncologist and the pulmonologist are saying the data from the PET is inconclusive. The SUV was low 2.2 and 2.3 but still concerning obviously. I'm trying to be REALLY pro...

Thanks for the input. I appreciate the prayer and support. I'm definitely going for a cure. I am a fighter, all or nothing type of person and plan on being as proactive as possible. I've got some research to do I have no idea what my KRas orBraf are. I'm not even sure if they tested for that, at lea...

I'm sorry chemo brain strikes again! My last chemo was June 30 2015. I had a PET July 2015 that showed NED I had a MRI May 12th 2016 and PET May 24 that showed SUV of 2.3 and 2.2 in nodules.

Thank you! I appreciate the support.

I am scheduled for a lung biopsy this Friday and needless to say I'm nervous. I was T3N1M0 had my sigmoid removed and 21 lymphs 3 of which were positive. I did 11 rounds of FOLFOX, didn't do the 12th because of neuropathy. My last chemo was June 30th 2015, I had a MRI that showed 2 nodules around .8...

Not only my gas butt my poo no longer is the same smell. I've been blaming it on the chemo but sounds like it might be a more permanent thing. And yes it's more often especially at night , sometimes wake myself up darting lol.

I had considered this so I guess great minds think a like.
Thanks

Hello, Have any of you ladies, or gentlemen, experienced dry skin on your face while on FOLFOX? My face has all these bright red, dry patches that are painful. I've tried different lotions and creams but so far the only thing that does anything at all is vitamin E cream and it only helps a little. A...

Thanks Vicki I think I will do this.

Thanks now I need to figure out what is my best option, my visiting nurse does not want me going to a gym, it is a bad flu season here.

I just started my FOLFOX treatments and was wondering if anyone had suggestions on exercise. I live in Ohio so right now getting out to walk is not a ideal situation. Any one do a exercise regimen that they found helpful? I don't belong to a gym and am a little leary about starting now while on chem...
