Hijacked posts
I tried to bump up some of the posts that were pushed down so that anyone who needed responses are still up where they can see the posts, but the spammer/hijacker has a program that I don't have so it's a bit of work and I have to leave soon. If you had a thread running that you want on the first page so it can get more…

possible internal scarring from surgery is making chemo a challenge
Hi Everybody, I'm stage 4, age 52, diagnosed in Jan. 2010. Got the rectal tumor out in May, the colostomy was reversed in July when I had 60% of my liver removed (2 small tumors). I am so far NED and started chemo on Sept. 9. So far, so good, and I am hopeful. Here's my problem. The chemo tends to constipate me. Four times…

More weirdness - but that shouldn't suprise anyone
Somehow I always manage to keep my medical team on their toes with new weird stuff. Friday (9 days ago) I was given a script for Atropine eye drops to take to help with very excessive secretions and stomach pain. I was told they use this in hospice a lot. It seemed weird to me to use an eye drop for excessive saliva and…

Curious about Ileos & Colos
How many have had an ileostomy and how many a colostomy? When I read different boards about takedowns/reversals which I hope to have around April 2011, I mostly read about the ileostomy reversals. I have a end colostomy and was wondering how different are things after reversal for the colostomies vs ileostomies?

It took months with multiple organ failures, MERSA, had to be trached and now on his 3rd chemo (5FU and CPT-11). This one has been so hard on all of us. I was his caregiver when the Doctors gave up and suggested…

Hot Damn - Reconnection time!!!!!!
Had the enema X-Ray today and my colon surgeon also shoved his damn scope up me to see how the resection is healing. All looked great so I will be getting reconnected Nov 17th. He said I will be in the hospital 2 to 3 days after. Could have done it earlier but that would have screwed up deer season for me. It is imperative…
