Bumping up

Looks to me like she’s getting standard care. I’d wait for the results of the pathology where her stage will be confirmed. I’m certain that an oncologist will be involved at some point. Please be patient and don’t listen to too much outside noise. And, listen to what she wants done.

Don't give up! I know, it's easy to just say that, but, there have been many people who have been told that surgery is out of the question, and have become candidates. Not all doctors/surgeons have the same skill and confidence, sometimes it's a matter of looking a little harder. Sounds to me that c...

I have no idea what half of these comments mean. Mobrouser, I don't believe you and I have ever conversed. I don't criticize people or say anything that should stop them from "speaking." If you could point to any examples, I would love to know about them. My husband has posted a few times...

His facility is using the Medtronic SynchroMed II with Codman catheter. MSK is the only place conducting a trial on this new adaptation and everyo...

Someone on here needs to take a break from the board.

What Chinese herbs are you considering resuming? I had been on a number of pills that are a combination of herbs and mushrooms - custom blends by Dr Guo in Chicago - as well as PSK. I honestly think these helped my initial response to FOLFOX, as pretty much everyone says I’ve had amazing / unbeliev...

In my research there are only three things readily available that have shown to be effective in keeping from recurring. VITAMIN D, ASPIRIN and PHYSICAL EXERCISE. This can be checked by doing a PUBMED or google scholar database search. Vitamin D blood levels have to be optimal, around 5000/iu at leas...

Absolutely!
