What a long, hard journey this has been for your DH and you. May he remain NED forever!

Excellent! Always encouraging to hear good news. Congratulations on your daughter's upcoming wedding.

My son completed 12 cycles of FOLFOX on July 30. After about the 9th cycle, peripheral neuropathy started first in his fingertips, now in the hands and feet. Oncologist gave him the option of stopping chemo but he wanted the full treatment. He (and I) are hoping it will eventually go away; oncologis...

Bomberbob I beg to differ.

You DO have grand words of wisdom to share. You write simply and eloquently. Your words give me hope for my son and all others here who are fighting this battle. Thank you, thank you!

On July 30 my son got his 12th and final FOLFOX chemo, and today got un-tethered from the chemo pump. Hooray! Major hurdle done. Thank God. Now begins the slow road getting back to his healthy self, and surveillance. The oncologist told him at least 2 months before he begins to feel like himself aga...

Wow! What a wonderful relating of your experiences. You sound so upbeat and positive; it gives me hope. Thank you for sharing your story.
Happy, Happy Birthday and may you celebrate many more!

This is so heartbreaking to read both of your posts; I have tears in my eyes. God bless you both for the love and care you have shown to your wives.
I hope in time you will find peace knowing that you did everything you could for them in their final days. My deepest sympathies.

I'm sorry to hear this rough news. I am sending good vibes and prayers your way.

I understand your anger. I don't have much advice other than keep pushing for the care you want for your mom. There is a lot of support here. (((hugs)))

May continued good reports come for your husband! Bless you both, and your little daughter. How sweet!

The only suggestions by my oncologist: - Baby aspirin - Vitamin D - Vitamin B-12 (for my neuropathy) The other things that I do in the hopes of not having a recurrence (I had a pretty healthy lifestyle before all this started, but keep trying to make improvements) - Vitamin K2 to help with Vitamin ...

There is scientific evidence that meat, especially processed meat increases the probability to develop CRC. Also a diet rich in fibers is positive in many ways. I was already training a lot but perhaps this lead to producing too many free radicals? :D I avoid meat, diary, added sugar except when I ...

Hello All, I'm wondering if any of you have done any changes to your self-care to prevent a recurrence of CRC, anything at all, supplements, diet changes, exercise, spiritual work, etc? Did your physician recommend anything during treatment or afterwards, once you have been in remission? Thank you....
