Hi Everyone, I just want to say how amazing many of you are dealing with recurrent cancer. The anxiety and stress of cancer coming back is just not fair. If I had one wish it would be that dam chemo made sure the cancer was gone and not just suppressed for a time..... Anyway I hate f**kin cancer and...

Your amazing....Oxi makes me soooooo sick and i'm in bed for a week. My oncologist reduced it to 80% and in two days I'm back on my feet. Worth a try?

Hi Fred, I had similar problems in the beginning. I also started getting sores where the bag sticks to the skin. However, I have a great stoma nurse and I can tell you how see helped me through my problems. The first thing she gave me was Adapt Paste this stuff is my life saver. I squirt it on the b...

Nick what a cute kid!!!

Hi Everyone,

Right now my four year old is soooooo naughty I can't what is normal four year old behavior and bad behavior from seeing mummy so sick???

I wish I could have a colonoscopy but I no longer have a colon....what are your motivations for such a strange post?

Hi Everyone, I know most of you are Americans so maybe you can help with this. My husband and daughter are American and I am a Kiwi (New Zealander). We are all currently living in New Zealand. I have health insurance here and the socialized system means even if I didn’t I would still get great care....

Hi Everyone, Just as you have all commented it is the thought that I will not be there to raise my daughter that crushes me. I'm not a young mum 36, my only daughter is four. She was born with a rare kidney disease. Normally the disease (ARPKD) kills the babies within the first day of life. I got lu...

Just had a scan and they kept rescanning my liver...I broke down thinking the worst.

God cancer moves fast my last scan three months ago was clear.

This shit is not fare!

So the cream is helping but still have some pain....has anyone tried something else that has worked well?

I'm sure the chemo is slowing or preventing healing right now...now I'm having teeth problems...arrrrr

I can't seem to find anything that will work for me. I must confess I will "smoke" a little to let the pills kick in. I'm not a fan of this but whatever it takes to get me through this. I watch a great movie called 50/50 when in the movie cancer patients start handing around special cookie...

Sorry that you are here. I am 36 with one little girl. On my good days I do my best to have fun with her and make as many memories with her that I can.

Just wanted to say you are not alone.

I have had many people say stupid things but I think about when I was in their situation, finding out a friend or co worker had cancer....I never new what to say and did something worse which was avoid them just cause I didn't want to be a dick and say something dumb. Now I have people who avoid me....

Hi Everyone, My oncologist just called to say I wont be having chemo this week as planed. She said my white blood cell and red blood cell counts are too low. She called me a "cheap date." I am worried this will lessen the chances of the chemo working. Has anyone else been in this situation?

I have been given a steroid foam...it is helping. No more bleeding but I still feel like I have to go....

I though it might be good to start a topic on alternative treatments. I am all for the chemo and getting it done but I’m sure it’s not the only thing that can possibly help. If it is not hurting and it is not undoing what the chemo does…then why not try everything? I know then is often only anecdota...
