If you don’t mind me asking, where are you based? In the states? Also, I see from your signature you had some chest nodes radiated. How many were involved?
So sorry sfok09, I'm only seeing your post now. Well, I can't tell for sure because it's my husband who's using it (and it's a very private topic), but from what I can read online, some bidets have that function, and I believe ours does. I'm sorry I can't be more precise! Claudine! Long time! How i...
Hey everyone, Hope doing as well as can be. It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted anything, aside from commenting back here and there. I guess my mental health is taking a bit of a battering this week so I find myself here seeking some guidance. Essentially, my partner who was originally diagn...
zephyr, I was studying your signature. Would you say that your lung nodules have been stable since you started the Folfox/Avastin regimen few years ago? I am being hopeful that it would give me few more years if I am prescribed that regimen. More like stable- ish . I've been bouncing between Folfir...
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’...
Hi all, I’ve wondered whether to post for a few weeks and have now decided that I want to. I sadly found out a few weeks ago via Facebook that Rob passed away. He was one of the first people I spoke to when I joined this forum. He was so kind, patient, considerate and knowledgable. He always took th...
My husband’s cancer was in many lymph nodes—the surgeon removed 20+ and his nodes remained clear until about 2 months ago, when folfiri stopped working. Now he has 3 or 4 in the same para aortic area that are enlarged again. He’s done 2 rounds of bot/bal, but we won’t know whether it’s working unti...
Hello - wondering if anyone has tried a KRAS mutation trial drug? I’m looking into it while I wait for TIL trial I should get into to open for crc. It is still a couple of months away and oncologist suggested this as it wouldn’t interfere with my eligibility for TIL. Again, interested if anyone has...
Hello, My cancer friend had 1 liver met 4 years ago. did chemo 12 cycles. I believe folfox and folfiri. She had her met surgically removed. Her oncologist put her on maintenance chemo for 4 years. Last week she had a 0.6 cm lung met removed surgically. She lives in Greece. The local medical team te...
I’m doing ok. My chemo for now is just a Zirabev (bevacuzimab/avastin). Been having other health issues maybe from all the treatments but maybe cancer that’s keeping treatment light until they can figure it out. I think I’m trying to get every possible medical test devised. But I’m here plugging aw...
Has anyone had longish term success where chemo has just kept the mets stable, but still visible on scans/similar. Looking for some nice stories that exclude NED :) We can only claim one lung nodule that disappeared, along with several liver nodules plus stability in multiple LN when immunochemo re...
