juicing & organic foods?
Hello!!!! I visit this web sometimes, but I have angiosarcoma of the liver and try to talk with that website. I remember someone on this site who talked about juicing and organic foods and how well it worked for her and I would like to talk with her but don't remember who it was. If you could email me,I would appreciate…
Non Profit Orgs.
Hello all, I have been seriously thinking about starting a Non Profit Org and was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with this? I would love to pick someones brain about it. Thanks everyone!!
my two cents
You know..I have seen some very antagonistic threads lately (colonpalooza as well as whether or not to do chemo) and have had some mean spirited emails (and sent some too)but really what I have come to realize is that we are a family in this cancer battle and like a family we strike out at those we feel most comfortable…
Thanks to all My Port is OUT!
Hi All, Just wanted to thank everyone to my post last weekend about my Port Removal. I had it done today, with just a local.. and it wasn't too bad. I had a lot of scar tissue around it, since it was in there for 3 years and 2 mos. So other than the pressure it wasn't too bad. I have stitches that will come out in a week,…
Let's all take five
Here's a little smiley: Applying for a Job at the CIA A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. These highly classified positions are hard to fill, and there's a lot of testing and background checks involved before you can even be considered for the position. After sending some applicants through…
Activase
Hi, I'm another female Kerry -- Mark's (Sunriver) girlfriend and caregiver. We went to have his pump taken off today and they were quite worried about blood not returning through the port. They have administered Activase to dissolve what they suspect are clots within it. Tomorrow we go back and they syringe out the…
Wow - let's all be nice
Hi all - I think there is a "Communications" thesis topic in here somewhere regarding the latest chemo debate. I'm pretty sure we are all nice people and we sure all have a common enemy. Things are getting a tad out of hand, however, - which is so easy to do with electronic media. I don't think there is any point in…
Dang! Who all took Crabby Pills??
Sheesh y'all! I sure had missed y'all being off the boards for these past few months, but after this thread I'm wondering what i missed?? Did someone pass out crabby pills today or something?? :-) This is an ongoing question and in the past has been conducted with respect and restraint. I am so surprised at the vehemence…
A good day!
Hi everyone, I posted awhile ago stating spouse was to have biopsy for 1 pelvic node. Well he went today and CT showed it shrunk! They'll re-check in a month. Surgeon believes it was just an "infected" node and primary still believes it is cancerous and shrinking due to chemo.... well we're happy either way:) Besides it's…

Chemo vs. No Chemo
I posted this in response to the array of responses to LLLady's response to her husband, Duey's, thoughts on discontinuing chemo. I didn't think this should get lost in the shuffle, so I've pasted it here... Appears there needs to be a little clarification... In summary, I think the chemo vs. no chemo debate should include…
thanks for the speedy response
I think I will try to get him to see his doc, he has been pretty discouraged lately and has kinda "shut down" so maybe some action needs to be taken.
life after sigmoid/rectal resection
I wrote a few monthes ago, my husband seemed to have made a little progress but has now lost ground. He still has extreme pain during his prolonged trips to the bathroom, accompanied with rectal bleeding. I'm trying to convince him to get this checked out in case there is a problem. Any suggestions? Really appreciate your…

(The cancer came back in his throat after chemo and radation) He is doing wonderful. I finished my last chemo treatment 9/27 and took the shot to boost your white count 9/30 that is suppose to last for 3…
