I do not know what your next steps should be, but I would encourage you to continue to advocate/push hard for answers until you are satisfied. I received my 4th cancer diagnosis many, many months after I started reporting symptoms to my oncologist. I had cancer THREE times previously and my well res...

I would ask your oncologist to show you the scar tissue!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. It is always uplifting to hear positive stories!

Hi, I concur with Rock said. I was in therapy the entire time I was receiving chemo. It helped a lot. I am so sorry you are going through this, particularly as such a young person. It makes sense you would be fighting with negative feelings right now. How could you not? I would try to pepper in some...

I think you do what you need to do to get through chemo and try not to overthink things. If you only feel like having shakes the morning of chemo or whenever, you will be fine. Just do the best you can.

Thank you SOOO much for responding. I appreciate it. Can I private message you?

I am so very sorry. I can't imagine what you have gone through. Thinking of you and hoping you feel a little better with each passing day. Hugs. I'm just going to put this out here even though it has nothing to do with crc. Its not going to make me feel better by no means but I need to let it out to...

Hi Beach, Thanks so much for your response. I really appreciate it. They are talking about surgery, but getting the medical system to move is like fighting with a moose. I am still without a lot of information, even though it has been nearly 2 weeks since my rediagnosis. I have to call and call to g...

Hi, I am wondering if there are any survivors from a metastasis to the uterus, etc? Thanks in advance. I really appreciate it as I try to navigate our terribly difficult medical system here in the US. After 10 years of experience, it has only gotten worse and worse. Signature: stage 3b colostomy nov...

No, sometimes bad things just happen. I am so sorry you are going through this, but try not to blame yourself. It's bad, awful luck. Keep doing all the right things!

That is the next step, but I am terrified my life will be so different that im unsure I want to live. Cancer takes so much from us. It's infuriating.

Any information would be greatly appreciate. Please!

Hi, I am wondering what the cons are in partial vaginectomy? How Long before you can exercise after having a small part of your vagina removed? What about after having the whole thing removed? Did you have it reconstructed during surgery or afterwards? Could you ever have sex again? Could you ever h...

My cancer center gave me Ativan wafers as a 3rd option. I opted to take it during every poisoning rather than the other stuff, but it made me sleep, which was okay. I took it the day of my poisoning and on a regular schedule. I stopped taking the meds the night my pump was removed. Hope you feel bet...
