Well we are back again. My DH was diagnosed with stage II colon cancer Sept 2009. Had surgery removed 1 foot of colon and then has been NED ever since ---- UNTIL a routine xray on his lungs radiologist noted something funky with liver. Well yep its back in full force. He just has a colonoscopy and ...

Hi Paola, I'm so sorry to hear about the unexpected during your surgery. I pray for you to get good response with chemo treatment so you can go back to the OR. From my original tumor, I'm MSS with TMB 16 which my oncologist said I'm not qualified for a clinical trial that takes patients with TMB of...

Hi, Just an update on my CRS/HIPEC. The procedure was 10 hours long. I was in hospital for a week. It's about 3 and half weeks out since the surgery and I'm still in a lots of pain. My PCI at the outset of the procedure was 16 and at the completion of procedure was 1. There are .5 to 1mm fine discr...

Fingers crossed, wishing you the best.
Keep us updated.

Big hug

I know nothing about clinical trials but I found this one in Phase 3, concerning IV Vitamin C: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02969681. What do you think? My prior comment was specifically about lab testing chemo susceptibility of tumor samples. I guess the phase 3 trial is a legitimate stu...

I can't answer your questions but thanks for the article.
Personally, I don't see any ethical conundrum in giving immunotherapy as a last shot if the patient doesn't have any side effects. I mean, it's not as if you were ruining the last months of his life with chemo...
That's my two cents...

What do you think?

You’re focused on food quite a bit, and you’re correct, it can hurt or help a person on chemo. However, I never wanted to eat on FOLFOX, and many people share this problem, if my food were limited, I probably wouldn’t have eaten at all. If he wants an ice cream, let him! There is a lot of good and ...

This is so interesting, specially the IV Vitamin C. There are so many studies that explain its benfits to those with a KRAS or a BRAF mutation. There's even a Trial in phase 3 in which some patients get IV vitamin c + their usual protocol.

Best of luck to your brother-in-law!

Hugs,

Paola

I feel exactly the same. I think it's "normal" to have that kind of feeling. We've been waiting for surgery for so long! We just need to try to stay calm (easy to say...). Keep us updated! i hate this new "normal." also, mom might have surgery a bit later planned so she would ha...

The reality is that I’m a mom, so I feel like I’m going to do whatever my oncologist tells me is my best shot! If that means more Vectibix, so be it. I know it’s mostly vanity at play - the splitting skin I could address with SuperGlue - so I have to be a big girl and deal with it. I’ve told myself...

I don t mean to scary you. I also had an ovarian cyst ghat had been growing while on chemo. The docs decided they want it out. My ovaries left the building. The pathology report came back and it was a net from colon cancer. Hi, there. My ovarian mass was partially biopsied and it wasn't cancer but ...
