Can't Eat Popcorn?
If you can't eat popcorn because of an ileostomy/colostomy, diverticulitis, or for whatever reason, the following is a good substitution. My son mentioned it yesterday and I had forgotten all about it. You put some butter in the bottom of a pan (or margarine - I use the spray "I can't believe it's not butter" because it…

"I am holding you in the light!" Peace and…

My face is a bruised up mess from falling out of bed and hitting the floor.... everyone says the husband did a number on me and blamed the floor..LOL. They FINALLY found out what was wrong.

Thank You
Hi Everyone, I just wanted to thank all of you for the hope you have given me. My 33 year old son was diagnosed with stage 4 CRC in January of this year. As a nurse I knew the "statical" survival rate for this stage...or so I thought. Then God blessed me with finding you guys and I have been glued to this site every since.…

problems after reconnection
I just joined last week and have already found information from all very helpful. But I have a new question: my husband wipes blood when he goes to pass bowel movements-is this normal, it does not happen all the time and the blood is not deep red.

neuropathy in hands
I have started XELODA (capecitabine) pills and neuropathy is starting up in my hands. Does anyone know a way to slow it down or stop it entirely? I've already gone through this before with a different chemo treatment and my feet never did return to normal. Thanks for any information you might have.

The Reading Room: As Flu Vaccine Arrives For the Season, Some Questions and Answers
Recently, there has been some discussion on this board about the wisdom (or lack thereof) of getting regular seasonal flu shots and/or the H1N1 flu vaccine (nasal delivery or injection). Today's New York Times ran the linked question/answer piece on the H1N1 vaccine which I thought might be of interest. Incidentally, our…

Need To Vent- add yours too!
My main struggle, besides my constant painful constipation after my ileostomy reversal last month, is FOOD. I've lost 40 lbs since diagnosed. I know I look like a refugee. I KNOW I have to eat, but I am SICK of everyone telling me I have to eat- "that's your job", "do what ya gotta do", " don't you want to live?" etc..…

Hijacked
It appears this discussion board has been hijacked by "username32." It's a sad pathetic day when a simple yet very powerful cancer support like ours has been tapped into by a computer moron with nothing better to do. My heart nearly sank when I saw the post from "andreae" brought up from the archives. Us "veterans"…

Has anyone heard from FAPmom! Jackie, how are you?
I've searched the board, and can't find any postings from Jackie. Has anyone heard from her? It seems like it's been a very long time. I will try to email her, too. Hugs, Krista

With all of this spam activity it is very difficult to find and follow any of the recent threads. Perhaps if those of us who recently initiated a thread could find it, comment on it and get it bumped back to the top we can still catch up and connect. Sheeesh! Some people! Rob; in Van

To Username32
You should let me know where you are located. I'm convinced you're a piece of SH!T. It pains me to know that I have killed good men across the world protecting freedom and rights for you. So, come on. Give me an address where we can meet.

Scan is Clear
I am happy to report that I talked to my oncologist today and she said my scan is clear and everything is normal. She even mentioned seeing the resection and the j-pouch and everything looks great. I am so excited as this was a very anxious wait and my first scan since December when I first found out. My oncologist said I…
