Thanks for all the kind thoughts! I can only hope at 72 I have as much energy as my mom. She spent the day yesterday and today cleaning up their property with my dad and my 13 year old son. She was dragging tree limbs. I get tired watching her- lol! Looking forward to seeing Pete and you all in Sept...

On May 13, 2011 mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Today was her 8 year anniversary, and she had another clean scan. Great anniversary gift. This makes a bit over 3.5 years clean in her longest remission yet. She had remissions on and off but October 2015 we started having continuous clean scans...

Hi Henry- just twice. Colon and breast. She had another clean scan today.

Happy mother’s day to all!!!!

Wanted to follow up. MRI of back was clean- she is just getting old. LOL. I told her Yoga and back excercises. Love to all!

Look into if MD Anderson does the HAI pump. if you are willing to go to NYC, Dr. Kemeny at MSKCC does the HAI pump- she pioneered it. I thank her for saving my mom's life. My mom started out in May 2011 with one liver tumor and after the HAI pump, a few remissions she is in her longest remission. Sh...

I am glad you are getting a colonoscopy. That said if you have been constipated you could have an anal fissure- a tear- which can cause quite a bit of blood. Let us know how the colonoscopy turns out.

Wonderful! dr K is amazing.

Hi all. Happy New Year. Just a quick update. Mom's ct scan was clean. We got the results today. That makes it about 3 years, 3 months clean. As many of you probably remember, she went back and forth quite a bit with clean scans and relapses before getting to this wonderful long stretch. Diagnosed Ma...

May you all have a wonderful holiday season.
Thinking of you all.

We lost a beloved second grade teacher at our school this past week to colon cancer. She fought for 4 years. My children never had her (my youngest is first grade) but she was a huge part of the school and community. Amazing lady. Taught up to two weeks before the end of her journey. Tomorrow mornin...

from what I understand, it is about sticking with who you are with who is NOT able to do the HAI Pump and doing the HAI Pump. I would send your records to MSK asap. Call their main number today and they can tell you how to send your records for Dr K to review. Dr. K has to review if you are a candid...

I am like you with my kids health. I don’t think it’s too young for a colonoscopy. That said- and you may think I’m crazy- have her eat those Cheetos again. Then check her poop. She may react differently than you. If it is red again, I wouldn’t worry. If it’s not, do the colonoscopy and put your min...

It’s balance. You are exhausted and don’t want to entertain and he is exhausted as well. At the same time, it’s his family. They love him. They have the right to be around as well. If it was me, I would be up front. They are welcome to visit but you also Need them to take the kids so you and he can ...

My mom still scans every 3 months.
