I believe he lived with stage 4 colon cancer for about 5 years. So, the…

Chat with Oncologist
I spoke with my brother's oncologist yesterday. She said she discussed my brother's condition with the liver specialist.

Sick Again - Immune System Question
A couple weeks ago, I had a nasty cough that has since changed to pneumonia. My oncologist tried to reassure me that we would treat accordingly, and that this wasn't wholly unexpected since my immune system is pretty impaired and roughed up following chemo (I finished FOLFOX at the end of April). I don't deny her…
