I'll be there in my red boxers! Our team name is Team Up Yours! My 14 year old son is excited to hear that the Rams cheerleaders will be there. :lol: I'm happy the weather will be much warmer than last year. I would love to meet any Colon Clubber that will be there. Good luck! So cool! I have admir...

Be careful Jenny, those 60 lbs. can jump right back on him once he's able to eat again! I'm up 10 so far! :( On a serious note, when I asked my husband if he'd be okay with me going back to the bag his only comment was "what took you so long?". He hated seeing me in pain all the time. I w...

My husband had a very similar experience to NW Girl. He's had his reversal for almost two years, but it's just not working. Bad pouchitis, lost 60 lbs, etc. He is getting a permanent ileostomy back on Monday and neither of us can wait (well, can't wait until it's over...no surgery is ever fun). He a...

Fede -- this really has nothing much to do with your friend's situation, but it may be something for them to ask the doc about. Back in 2000, I was diagnosed with TTP/HUS. My platelet count was below 10,000 because TTP makes your platelets clog. The process they used is called plasma pheresis, in wh...

I know , I can't get a doctors appointment for another week , in the meantime my sister has given me a multi vitamin with iron supplement. I'll see if that helps any . I look so rough too with the puffy dark circles under the eyes and the pasty drip white complextion , dosent help here in the uk th...

I too was looking for a like button! You kick ass, CR Guy!

It could be stress, and the change in diet (though for the better) could have knocked some things out of whack. I would definitely get your blood counts checked and see if you are maybe iron or vitamin d deficient. You need to take care of yourself, too!

Nicola...he did try that,followed all of the directions, ate what he was supposed to eat,everything. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I know it works wonders for some people,just not him. Thanks though and you are right,it will not be the end of the world.

Has Scott seen or talk to an Ostomy nurse, or maybe attend some local meeting where ostomy people meet. Usually a hospital has info on this or possible the Onc. Lee He got that information when he was first diagnosed, but since his focus was on his treatment, he never got around to going to the gro...

Thanks Hannah and Lee. I keep telling him that I am there for him and that I just want him to feel better, but again, I'm not in his situation, so I feel almost not worthy of being there. I don't know if that makes sense, but there you go. I know two friends of my parents who. Oth have either ileost...

Thank you Terry...right back atcha!

HI all -- I hesitate to post this here because it's not exactly related to his cancer, but I am not active at all at the ostomy boards, so I hope nobody minds. I have mentioned before that my husband is struggling really badly with pouchitis. He has tried everything from anti-biotics to probiotics, ...

Scott's schedule is exactly the same as John72's.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Catta. My thoughts are with you and your family.
