My dad's new result's
My Dad just got his biopsy results back and they show he has cancer now in his liver with 8-9 liver mets. He is now just getting ready to start chemo again, but we are all scared. Surgery for his liver is not an option, at least not right now. It might be later on, only if the mets get smaller with chemo. They are going to…
Jaw Pain?!?!
My hubby has had 1 FOLFOX4 treatment and has severe Jaw pain, like really bad TMJ. Has anyone experienced this?
FIL fighting the beast... ugh
Hi all. Been a while since I've posted, but I read often. Found out yesterday my father-in-law has lung cancer. The staging and typing aren't in yet, but it is definitely lung cancer. Hi general health and age (80) make him a poor candidate for surgery so they're discussing radiation as a pallative measure. I, meanwhile,…

Abdominoperineal Resection
Hi, I have a T2 rectal cancer that is being removed later this month. I'm having this rather radical procedure not only because the cancer is very low, but because, having HNPCC there is quite a good chance of it coming back. Well, it can't come back is there is nowhere for it to live. ( yes, I'm in denial about Mets ) I…

The Port is in!
Thank you all who gave me your input about having a port put in. I was indeed asleep and now I'm experiencing soreness in my shoulder, but no real pain. I also thought it would stick out more but it's not so bad. Thanks again. Christele 36 yrs old stage IV, 10 mos old baby
nearly through with chemo
I have been a real trooper through the first 9 of 12 folfox treatments. I'm elated that there are only 3 left. I worked full time through all of it. I kept a wonderful attitude. Why am I now terrified of next Tuesday's chemo session? Why, when I'm nearly at the end, have I suddenly lost my good attitude? I absolutely dread…
