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

Folfiri

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...

Re: FOLFOX rechallengers?

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’...

Re: Trial update - VAXINIA CF33 - it’s over

Re: Lung nodules and genetic testing

If they are lung mets you wouldn’t be experiencing symptoms yet. You’ve got a while before they will start to cause a cough or anything if they are Mets. Mine got quite big (3cm+) before I developed a cough. There’s nothing you can really do at the moment except wait and enjoy being off chemo and sy...

Re: Pet scan

Thanks for the advice again roadrunner you’ve been a great help. Thanks for the article also. Finding out about the bone met really set me back, I’ve been trying to deal with the pain for a while and finding out everything I’ve done has been useless has been hard to deal with. I’m not giving up, I t...
