Why is my reconnection going so damn good?
My attitude working with the fantastic skill set of my colon surgeon Dr. Todd W. Arends. He is located in west St. Louis County. When he did the lower bowel resection, he did it right. That made the reconnection he did 101 days later work perfect. After reading so many horror stories here about reconnections. I have to…

Strategy 2 was done a long time ago. I am blunt. They do not take responsibility for their actions in our relationship. 1 and 3 I am working on as soon as I get some rest. I would have never opened the bank except for extreme mergency illnesses.

Still here/Happy New Year
Hi All, I'm still here, just been fighting a cold for the last two weeks so I have not been on the computer much. As strange as it sounds, I'm grateful to just be dealing with the run of the mill cold. The really wierd thing is, while I was doing chemo I never caught a cold or the flu. I was really worried about that since…

not the best news I'm afraid
Well, the Doctor told us the tumors are back and growing on Jim's liver. He has a spot on his lung which showed up on the CT scan but did not glow on the PET scan so we'll remain optimistic about that one. Dr said surgery would not be an option right now and Jim will need to change from the folfox (which obviously was…

I can't believe it's been a little more than a year
since I was diagnosed with CRC. I know I don't post as much as I used to. I blame it on work, vacation, family life, and the holidays. It's been a zoo here. I try to log in every day to see how everyone is doing, but feel I don't offer much in giving advice anymore. There are so many more people here who are much more…

OT - surfing at the beach with the President
Hi, This is off topic for sure but cool. **** was surfing today and President Obama and his family came down to the beach. It is a small beach because it is on the Marine Corps Base so there were only a handful of people there. Secret Service all around but fun none the less. Not a bad day for a man who has been through 2…

going home
Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. I believe I am going home today. I've been a bit silent still, but recovery is taking a bit out of me. I'll get there. Next day after surgery I had heart problems, not sure what they were, I was kind of out of it, they did an EKG, compared it to original EKG and about all I…

FOLFOX # 5
UGH! Did I say UGH? I don't know why but this round feels like I got a double dose or something. YUCK ... nausea even with Zofran and just so super duper tired. I'm sure part of it is worrying about my son but, I am really feeling this round something terrible. Just wanted to check in before I hit the bed early tonight. I…

my husband's colon cancer recurred and a new kind of fight starts
Hi, I first visited this site in Dec. 2006 when my husband was first diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon cancer and found it very helpful. He had 2 surgeries, since then, 2 series of Chemo (24 times). We were beginning to think that we're getting handle of the disease. But, We just learned that it disease spread around abdomen,…

**UPDATE** ..on meds for missing digestive enzyme...
The Onc gave me a script for some caps called CREON. WOW.... has it ever worked!!!! If any of you are having diarrhea problems...get your enzymes checked. It was the very last thing they checked on me and thats what it ended up being. I am shocked at the difference. How can 1 little enzyme make SUCH a difference??? Don't…

Doctor Appointment Today
Had my yearly checkup today. Pap smear won't know results for about 2 weeks but he said it looked fine then he said ok I'm going to change gloves and I said "are you giving me a rectal?" "Opps, yup that is left to Dr. Lee." Just didn't want that since just going through colonoscopy in June and seeing Dr. Lee on December 3.…

Six years
Six years ago today I underwent a laporascopic right hemi-colectomy for stage 2a colon cancer. Early on I used to frequent this discussion group but have not in quite awhile and wanted to give an update to those who might remember me, and try to give some hope to the newbies. I did not have chemo--not because I am against…
