I get really crazy too when I look at my bloodwork. My biliruben was a little higher than my previous tests but that is right after my chemo and I too panick and think I have liver problems. I think I am going crazy with this stupid disease. I think I am better off not looking at my bloodwork number...

Sound like you had a great time. You are almost there with your treatments!!! It feel so great to be done!!! Hoping the rest of your treatments are smooth for you!

Thanks Allen. I know how you feel going to the onc office. I have to take an Ativan just to get through the doors. It really is mentally horrible dealing with this disease but I won't let it stop me from living. Just need somewhere to vent where other people "get it".

Thanks for all the suggestions. I hopefully might have found a local group that I can give a try thanks to someone who reached out to me. I don't mind the older people but just want some people around my age who might be dealing with similar issues with having teenage children. It is hard and I am s...

I think I need to find a support group in my area. I was treated at MSKCC but I don't live in NY. I am having a little bit of a hard time since my treatment ended about 3 weeks ago and my family says I am driving them crazy!!! How do you go about finding support in your local area? I have looked onl...

Great news! Hoping for good news for the rest of your treatments!!!

I just finished 12 treatments of folfox and the whole time I was crazy because I didn't dye my hair. I thought on chemo you couldn't. I was getting so gray! Then at my follow up appointment with my onc I asked him if it was now ok to dye my hair and he said oh you could have dye it on chemo! I was s...

Not exactly the place where you would expect to see it mentioned but I guess any awareness anywhere is a good thing! I always get so mad when I see the pink ribbons being sold everywhere, not that breast cancer isn't important but I have never seen any colon cancer awareness posted anywhere!

Feels great to get things done. It helps so much mentally to be productive. Makes me feel like I have some sort of control with this damn disease.

I made it through 9 treatments with the oxi. As soon as the numbness and tingling lasted the whole 2 weeks between treatments my onc stopped it. I was worried that I wouldnt get the full benefit. Thank god we stopped it my fingers and feet are getting progressively worse. You know your body and if y...

Wishing you luck. Hoping you get the vacation your family deserves.

My Grandmother had colon cancer in her mid 70's. She is now 89 and doing great. She doesn't even own a computer! Me not so lucky to get colon cancer at 40. I have seen so many young people throughout my treatment. When I had my surgery I figured I would be the youngest there but I was so wrong there...

Feels good to be done. I also just finished my 12 treatment. I am happy to be done but also nervous about the future. Best of luck to you.

Forgot to mention make sure you walk a lot as soon as you can. It helps to move everything along. You will do fine!

It feels good to be done. I also just finished my 12 rounds the end of June. I made it through 9 with the oxy. I still have really bad tingling and numbness in my finger tips and feet. I was hesitant about stopping at 9 rounds but my onc said it will get worse and he was right. Congratulations and g...
