Food Matters
I was watching a documentary yesterday called Food Matters, I was surprised that they were giving patients over 10,000 mil of vitamin C. It is based on the Gerson Therapy and claim vitamin C in high doses can cure cancer. Very interesting. I think there is a book out. I watched it on Netflex (instant watching). I am going…

I fight on
They have just let me out of hospital following my latest colonoscopy/endoscopy double. I was as bad as I feared,they made me drink seven litres of the levarge. I got by with anti-nausea wafers. The results of both were completely clear and I don't have to go for another scope for three years. So 13 years ca free and…

So far, so good. Later that night I began to have my icky tummy troubles. I was in severe agony and just thisclose to goint to the ER.…

Dr. Apt.

He also was going to change my meds around so I will not get so sick. but they have to see if my insurance will pay for it. Because is cost about $3000 a dose. I was not able to get chemo today because my white…

make sure you vote next week
I realize that some of you out there do not always agree with me politically, and that is okay. However we both know that your heart and/or brain tells you to vote and that it is important that you do so. That is what America is all about, and it is through our disagreements that we usually lead our country to do what is…

4 years ago today...
It was 4 years ago today that I first heard those 3 little words, "You have cancer". Stage III cancer, at that! What a scary thing to happen to a person without symptoms on Halloween! (Routine screening colonoscopy.) "But how could this be?" I thought. I take care of myself, eat right, don't smoke, exercise, no family…

Folfox 6 treatment effects.
Hi, hope someone out there can tell me what to expect. I just had my first Folfox 6 infusion on Wednesday and went home with a pump until Friday. To say I feel like I am "in a fog" is really minimizing it. I have read of some symptoms that I don't have (YET!) but feel so weak that I can't believe it. How does one "live…

Mother's Pride O/T
OK, so I want to brag a little. And I can tie this to my cc dx. This really helps me get through this rough 1st round of chemo. My oldest son has been in marketing for a major Los Angeles based sports team for quite a while (even left his high paying job to pursue this one as sports is one of his passions). Other of his…

nanoknife- locations and question of who's had it
Hello All, On another post of mine (where I'm whining about not feeling well & talked about my colorectal surgeon checking me out last week and feeling a rectal nodule), Clift/Buzzard replied to look into nanoknife. I had always assumed it was radiation, similar to cyberknife. But, apparently it is different and fairly…

Just wanted to say it was nice to see you back, even if for just one post. Sorry that you aren't doing better. Was so hoping that your symptoms would have let up some. My life now seems to revolved around before cancer and after cancer. It would be nice to see you post a little more if you get a chance. Glad that you're…

Update-really low wbc
My husband had a fever last weekend. We spent two seperate days in the hospital getting IV antibiotics for his low WBC. There wasn't any infection in the port or blood line. His levels were back up enough on Thursday to get the triple treatment on Friday (CPT 11, Avastin and Erbitux). Thank you all for answering my…

When does the 5 year start getting counted?
Hello Everyone, I am wondering when they start counting the 5 year thing? The date of diagnosis, when chemo ends, your 1st 3 month checkup? The reason I am asking, is I want to someday sign up for disability insurance, since I did not have it when I was diagnosed. We have Aflac coming to my work soon and I was just…
