Wow!! Congratulations! Enjoy this new journey, you so deserve it.

Roadrunner, What is CRT zone of death? I’m trying to get a handle on the viability of surgery or some procedure of my husband’s tumor in the rectum. Granted, his cancer is not under control which is also one of the reasons why Dr doesn’t recommend surgery due to being off chemo for so long. Thanks Sue

Hi hopeinGod2,

I was wondering if you pursued the cyroablation? and if so, was it successful? I'm about to ask our dr about this. It's not available where we live but hoping to travel if it could be an option for us.

Congratulations!! I hope to also be able to look back and feel the sense of fondness that you have for your medical team cheering you on. Again congrats!

Hi Buxton, My only experience is as a caregiver for my husband. I know our anxiety levels which is different between the two of us. My only offer is that I’d rather know earlier than later.

I still can’t direct message yet but will try to connect separately. How has husband’s week on treatment and recovering from cycles? I hope he’s been able t...

Pantufla, I hope that you were able to convince your DH to get for a an appointment. I know how terrifying the thought of even starting this all over again. And hopefully something is just irritated down there and not something off too concern. The weight loss is concerning though but not sure how l...

Congratulations!! So glad to hear read posts like this.

Hi Suelee, I am also a wife. My husband was diagnosed 10/27/22. So I am fairly new to all of this. I do understand the feeling of isolation. People reached out when they first heard, but after that it just feels like they don’t want you to even mention it. I just feel like everyone gets uncomfortab...

I would be interested. I am new here. My husband was diagnosed in Sep 2018 (stage 4, liver mets); in the last year, spots on the lungs. He’s been actively on treatment and his cancer is not under control. I refresh my clinical trials search each day, praying for a miracle. I came to this site in sea...
