I'm very sorry to hear this...you are a true inspiration....your grace and courage are beyond any words.

I agree with the others, likely not cancer, but push for a colonoscopy that will tell all !!

Sending lots of positive thoughts for a speedy recovery.

First off Diane, wishing you luck on your scans. During the week of Oct 5th I will be doing a Ct scan to check on further growth of 2 lung mets noted in my June scan, a bone scan to track 2 bone mets in my rib/spine likely from my advanced prostate cancer. Also a CEA and a PSA (prostate) to see if t...

after my minipoodle who was a total terror may she RIP I loved her so much, she also fought cancer but lost her battle

I am very sorry to hear the news, you have every right to a meltdown....embrace it for a brief time, then regroup and get ready for the fight that lies ahead...there is still hope.

KWT ...if there is junk food in the house that's what I eat, so I try not to keep too much in the house....if I don't have any "junk" then I'm afraid I will drive out and buy some....not good after drinking and smoking. For decent stuff I eat pistachios, almonds, dark chocolate , low fat i...

This disease can totally f@uck up your mind, so a little indulgence is ok in my book.......I drink several or more beers one-two days a week .....my problem is when I do it with MM I end up eating everything in the house.....which is definitely not good. I feel guilty ....but it takes away my fears ...

After abdominal surgery most everybody gets scar tissue/adhesions in about 95-97% of the cases there are no problems, but the remaining 2...

Typically this can happen after any surgical procedure.... oftentimes caused by adhesions....I have been hospitalized 9 times from this !! Usually it resolves, and some folks will manifest itself from time to time!!

I did 7 rounds of folfiri and my hair thinned about 50%.....noticeable to me but so much to others.

I was also told every 4-6 weeks.

No apology needed......I think most all of us can identify. Some days I get so wound up....I get so mad at everything that my poor doggies go hide in another room......won't come out till I've settled down, then there is a wonderful lovefest. My finance knows how serious everything is but always put...

Hang in there....this has happened to me 9 times.....actually many more but 9 put me in the hospital......hate that damn NG tube....BTW each time it cleared in a couple of days.....because it was happening so much I finally did a lysis. Enjoy the drugs.

I'd be happy to chat with you Nikki..... just let me know...I'm in SF
