Wonderful!

Thanks everyone, as always, replies were a big help.

I need some education please. I just had my 8th treatment of folfox with avastin. My blood pressure seems to be rising...152/102 last night. It did go back down on its own after I laid down. My onc office doesn't check my blood pressure but once a month. I'm thinking I might benefit from blood press...

Great news, wishing the best for you!

Thanks all of you for your cheers!

No mixed feelings hear....wonderful news!

Thanks! Orcasres

I don't want to die so soon! I'm not ready....I've got my first grandchild due in January! A little girl! I already love her l...

Thanks for the encouragement, didn't get good news from the surgeon today, from the meeting, I got in the back of my head I'm in more trouble than they want to say since the tumors are so close to the hepatic portal. But your post has snapped me out of that morbid thought. Thanks so much!

I would rather have an infusion because I despise taking pills, and if I know those pills are going to make me feel bad it would be even harder to take them plus I have a terrible memory so I know it would be 2 days and then I'd remember that I forgot to take my pills. I forget I have a port in unle...
