Re: When will it calm down?!?!

I hate when the doctors and nurses are too sweet to me, too. It makes me cry in front of them and I hate that. I would rather they were friendly and professional, but not pitying. I only really lost in front of one of them and coincidentally it was when I was sent to the cardiologist to get checked...

Re: Colonoscopy yesterday - tumour found

Sorry for the reason you are here, and I definitely echo the posters above. It doesn't hurt to call and try to get in with the surgeon sooner. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I am still in the beginning of my journey and remember the fear and the nagging thoughts all too well. It is hard to ...

When will it calm down?!?!

Had my first chemo treatment this week. Nausea wasn't too bad, didn't want to eat but kept the meds on board and only had one episode (stupid toast) so that was good. I started having pain in the center of my chest on Wednesday afternoon, Day 2 of the 5FU pump, didn't think much of it because it was...

Re: Stage 4 Survival stories

My gosh thank you everyone that has posted. It has given me more hope that I can fight this beast. I must update my Signature to show my journey. I do nothing but think cancer 24/7 even in my dreams. I wish that I could switch it off and just be normal again for a while. I haven't been given a time...

Re: New to Board

HI BeansMama, I hear you. Boy do I hear you! My sweetie got the Stage IV Dx September 2014. There's so much more I could say, but I'll focus on this. The day we got the diagnosis, the thought flashed through my head: "There's a guy somewhere who was the last guy diagnosed with AIDS before the ...

Re: New to Board

Hello and welcome to the Board. Well, you've already been through hell and you're still walking. That is NO small victory! When I went through my complete wound healing failure after my liver resection in 2010 (7 months to heal) it was my worst nightmare, I think. I had a wound vac for awhile that ...

Re: New to Board

Welcome BeansMama Sounds like you had a very rough start, hopefully things will smooth out. Remember to talk to your onc about all your side effects. Don't take something for granted such as chemo will make me nauseous. If you're nauseous, tell them, let them help you. Best of luck. Thankfully my o...

Re: New to Board

I'm so sorry you are going through this terrible disease. I sincerely hope the worst of your ordeal is behind you. I'll keep you in my thoughts as you go on to the next phase. Chemo is never fun, but it sure sounds easier than what you've already been through. You really should like you are a stron...

Re: New to Board

So sorry to hear. This just sucks!!!:-( it seems that the worst age where people got diagnosed stage 4 from the start is around 40. Has anybody noticed that? I wonder if there is a pattern. Please fight and don't give up!!! How do you manage your sleeping? Are you taking anything? I am still gettin...

New to Board

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I started to write out my whole story and realized holy hell it was long, so the cliff notes version it is. My diagnosis is stage IV Colorectal cancer. I have metastasis to my liver (one large tumor that is actually beginning to grow out of my liver and se...
