I drove to GA yesterday, because my mom was admitted to the hospital for a blood infection..pretty serious, but she is starting to respond to treatment. Anyway, I was killing time in the CCU waiting room and had my trusty kindle fire, so I took advantage of the free wifi to check email, FB and such. All was good, so I…

Anyone tried it with success?
It's that wonderfull time of year again. Time for my annual "roto rooter"...
Yep time for my colonoscopy. It was the week before Thanksgiving 2009 when the tumor was spotted. Then after chemo/radiation and nine months of NED my second colonoscopy spotted the recurrence. So, two colonoscopies, two tumors. I'm hoping the third time's a charm and comes back clean. My CEA is good, my scan last month…
IntraPeritoneal (IP) Chemo

My IP chemo cocktail contained FUDR, which is…
confused, annoyed, denial, and sick of "I'm so sorry cards."
This just about sucks doesn't it? Since diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer, I really haven't felt that depressed. It's funny though, I think I am becomming more angry by the day because when I was diagnosed (a month ago} the docs were all like. "Oh yeah, 90% survival rate. And now that they have my business they keep…

They said they hoped to be able to target cancer with more specific chemo among other benefits....…
Molecular Profiling of cancer – Has anyone had this done?
In helping my sister with her uterine cancer diagnosis, I have found that her surgeon sent off samples and had a molecular profiling done at the cost of over $12,500.
