Re: Colectomy recovery expectations

From your signature it looks like chemo is doing you good. Great!
I don't have any advice for expectations you are asking about but bet someone will come along.
Good luck with surgery. Let us know how it went and how you are doing.

Re: Plant based bioactives as anti cancer agents

I take it 5 days on, 2 days off and has been safe. Mine comes from Metagenics. I bet they have an email or # to call to ask questions/get more info. I originally began taking it with the Metagenics supplement package for cv19 immunity protocol back in 2020-about spring of 2024. Now back on it 5 days...

Re: Plant based bioactives as anti cancer agents

Indepth paper. Thanks for posting. Not often do I see andrographis listed for cancer like in the paper you shared but it is a vey potent cancer killer in CRC.

5 yrs since primary surgery

It's been a long ride so far. I remember thinking every thought that could possibly run thru ones head as I was getting ready to go to the hospital for a 10-12 1/2 hr surgery. I had to be there at 4 am. What a rough and emotional day. I watched SAGE video of similar surgery beforehand as I am not on...

Re: Chemotherapy side effects

FOLFOX is combo od 5FU and oxaliplatin Not sure about FOLFIRI. Someone will come along on an answer on it. So, are you carrying a bulb or bag on your shoulder/hip receiving the chemo or is it done at your clinic daily? Just trying to understand that part. What does your bloodwork look like? Normal, ...

Re: Ileostomy reversal. How long to recover.

Don't let dehydration sneak up on you. Drink hydration fluids with the right balance of electrolytes. Gatorade is koolaide in my opinion. IV in the bottle, Biolyte, Dr. Bergs electrolyte powder, ect are good. Also, you could put a lil pinch of salt under your tongue every 3-4hrs to keep electrolyte ...

Didn't notice til you pointed it out. It is a good thing people have found the forum and hopefully collecting info to be better prepared if they have CRC.

Re: Potential new therapy

Good paper. I find the Asian/Japanese are way ahead with successful treatments then the USA. I would say 90% of my protocol is not USA.

Re: Researching Laser Surgery Germany

What were the targets if I can ask? I am glad you got a successful surgery and are healing well. I've been thinking about you. Remember you are in the drivers seat with your cancer! Often times they try to get you to stay in their facility and just take what they have to offer (keep the money there)...
