Hi Paige, It’s been about 2 weeks since I started and side effects are very minor just had one bout of diarrhea and some nausea and lethargy, nothing compared to chemo. I think the hardest thing is I have to fast 2 hours before taking the tablets and one hour after. I haven’t noticed any difference ...

I’ve read that red light at certain wave lengths activates methylene blue and destroys cancer cells. The problem is the light doesn’t penetrate deep into the body

Hi Bianca, I’m in Melbourne Australia. There were 2 lymph nodes in the chest that had radiation, unfortunately it didn’t work as they were still avid on the the next pet scan. After 3 months of chemo they were no longer avid on the pet scan.

The drug is called bgb-53038 made by beigene. My mutation is kras g12v, I read it’s one of the worst to have in regards to overall survival and recurrence. This drug is a pan kras inhibitor so it inhibits all the kras mutations. They did mention mention that drug but it only inhibits the kras g12c v...

I’m starting a new trial that inhibits the kras mutation. This is a pan kras inhibitor so works on all the variations of kras mutations. The oncologist said there has been some success in other cancers that involve the kras mutation like pancreatic and lung cancer. Hopefully it shrinks the cancer an...

Just read about a new breakthrough made in South Korea. Would be many years off but looks interesting

Thanks Paige, this cycle has been bearable, I got cyclizine which has helped a lot and I doubled my other anti nausea meds. Hope everything is going aswell as possible for you

Thanks for the responses. I doubled my dexa dose this cycle and I have tolerated the folfiri much better.
Thank you

Thanks Paige.
Hope you’re doing well

I’m on my 3 Rd round of folfiri and I’m not handling it well. I initially did folfoxiri and handled it so much my better. I’m taking the anti nausea meds but it helps very little I vomit at least 5 times on day 1 and 2. Does anyone have any advice or similiar experience? I was expecting this to be m...

It’s great you’re in good spirits roadrunner. Also glad the surgery was a success. Hope you’re back running soon and remain NED

I’ve got a bone met in the acromion/scapula spine on my right shoulder. I read that bone Mets are a poor prognostic factor. I had radiation to the area the area twice the 1st time the pain went away but came back within 3 months. I got a second lot of radiation which fixed the pain again but now I’...

Sorry to hear it mate. I’m in a similar position to you. Hopefully chemo can clear the spots up.

I had a repeat pet scan after radiation to shoulder and lymph nodes. The scan was 4 weeks after radiation to lymph nodes and approx 5 weeks after radiation to shoulder. The lymph nodes showed a partial response to radiation with a decrease in suv but the shoulder showed an increase in suv uptake whi...
