Ya, I started reading it back in 1998, but missed the last two releases. I've got the 2nd to last one and plan to read it soon. I know a lot of people read alot when sick, but I quit entirely. Thanks, should I keep the pictures coming? :lol: Any Rober Jordan/Wheel of Time fans in the house? Been wai...

I too have Lynch and do the yearly thing now. When my brother was DX'd in 2001, standard genetic protocol was to resect and only remove the entire colon if it came back. He only lived 9 months after his resection. I got it from my father, who died of CRC. My sister also has the mutation. It's a terr...

Had my 3rd colonoscopy since dx this morning, all clean. 3.5 years out, I'm starting to think cured.

I am very up in the air about doing this. It's been just over 3 years since my DX and I am always looking for more ways to make people aware of this disease and aware of Lynch Syndrome. Just not sure I'm right for it.

Yes, it looks like he has some sort of gut cancer and looks like it's his third bout with the disease and only 47 years of age. He's been a staple on Sports Center for years, this is very sad news.

I was dx'd after my 3rd colonoscopy in 7 years at age 43, no symptoms just routine scan.

You need to be very aggressive with SRC. Look into options such as total colectomy instead of re-section, opt for open surgery and have as many Lymph Nodes removed as possible to the point of risk, these are the things I was advised and I followed it. I don't have an ostomy and my Quality of life is...

Just wanted to share some good/cool news, it's been 3 years for me. Three years since they found 2 5cm Signet Ring Cell tumors in my colon just millimeters from getting out of the serosa, on my 3rd scope in 7 years. Was certain I'd be dead long ago, had 2 immediate family members with stage-3 get re...

Go with a pure Indica strain, almost any kush will do. Hits your body much harder than your head. Though I found sativas/hybrids better for nausea/appetite and an absolute must during treatments. Didnt know much about this b4 my DX, but I have a lot of knowledge now, it's been very helpful in so man...

Coming up on 3 years NED for me.

My 3rd PET since finishing FOLFOX 2 years ago, still clean, bloodwork still normal.

Starting to feel pretty optimistic now.

Good luck, I am scanning tomorrow as well, my 3rd and hopefully last PET.

very much on edge, finding it hard to concentrate on much else

Having my 3rd PET in 11 days.

I'm of the opinion that only removal 'cures' cancer.

That said, some chronic is good for anyone going through this.

In an ideal world, who cares why someone would use Cannabis?

As for chemo, yes I have always said: do not be afraid to try ANYTHING that works. When it came to being able to eat during TX weeks, I found it invaluable.

Not to mention the benefits to the your state of mind, cancer can be stressful.
