Re: Beginning TIL Therapy at NIH Next Week

These are the questions I have queued up for this week’s follow up: How many lesions are there currently? How many lesions were there in november? Have any lesions completely resolved? Are any lesions “on the verge” of being completely resolved? Are there any new lesions since november? Did the thr...

Re: Is there anything I can do before, during and after Chemotherapy to improve outcome?

why dosn't rp1954 post in my threads anymore :( I think it's because you basically ignored his many earlier posts , and you completely missed " the initial, early time, pretreatment window on those blood tests and anti-cancer chemistry " that he (and others) so urgently recommended that y...

Re: For Stage III's: NED for how long now?

it seems a lot of people had reoccurrences :( Yes, that might be true. However, the "Three Pillars of Survivorship" are still the best insurance against recurrences, especially the third pillar, "Stress Reduction". Please read, and re-read the following post: https://coloncancer...

Re: Is there anything I can do before, during and after Chemotherapy to improve outcome?

Yes, you are asking the right kinds of questions. At this point in time it's almost assured that you will have to undergo some kind of first-line adjuvant chemotherapy, but it's not clear which of the available options your oncologist will recommend. ⋅  Before chemotherapy . Before your me...

Re: How bad is it?

I would seriously suggest that you have a look at lpas ' signature, since she was Stage 3B and did quite lot of research in the first couple of years, and I think that the advice that she followed was to her great benefit. Also, she incorporated both standand and non-standard treatment protocols, an...

Re: About to go into surgery!

In some countries they don't usually do KRAS testing for Stage 1, Stage 2, or low-risk Stage 3 CRC, and Insurance won't usually pay for the test in this case, even if the patient insists on having the test done This test is normally done only for confirmed Stage IV (metastatic) cases, in which case ...

Re: About to go into surgery!

... I was reading about the KRAS BRAF mutations they seem very bad , are they really that bad if you have them? You won't know if you have any BRAF/KRAS mutations if they didn't do any KRAS/BRAF testing. So, one of the things you can ask the surgeon tomorrow is whether he requested the standard BRA...

...I also have random little aches and pains in my abdomen i assume that's normal? Yes, I think it's probably normal, because this was a major surgery that removed a large segment of the colon, and the reconnection of the remaining parts of the bowel required that these remaining parts be moved to ...
