Is it always something?
My husband missed chemo last week because of an infection in his incision. I was angry with him because I thought he caused it. He has had a bump on the incision since surgery, and it always bothered him because it hits right where his pants sit. He thought it might be an ingrown hair and picked at it, and by the time we…

You're ok mebored
Man, if you had a successful surgery with clean margins you should be straight. I don't think chemo is the standard treatment. At your age I wouldn't risk it. The damage it would do to you isn't worth the few % points you would gain in chances of recurrence. I know it feels terrible for you but what I've been through I…

John will have #12 in the morning. I am going with him to see if I can see the first scan. I want to see it so I will be able to see the changes that the Chemo has done when they scan again. He will be changing Onc's on the 28th and I think this is a very positive move. We have heard very good things about the team of…
