DPD Enzyme Deficiency when taking Capecitabine/Xeloda or 5-FU
My wonderful husband of 51 years died on December 12, 2018, after taking Capecitabine for only 10 days. He was diagnosed in July of 2018 with Bile Duct Cancer, had a successful Whipple surgery and recovery, and was pronounced cancer free by his radiation oncologist (his cancer was Stage 1).

I miss my mom it's been 2 months and I am having a harder time now than when she passed away :((
I am just so sad, my head hurts, my heart aches, I miss her so much. The pain is not getting easier, it's getting harder. I cannot stop thinking about her every minute of every day. I just don't know how to cope.
My sweet Auntie Lou Lou
My dear Aunt Lou passed away from complications of lung cancer in July 2015. I think of her so often. Life just hasn't been the same without her in it. I know she is in heaven and not in pain and that's what gets me through. I know I will see her again one day. I feel guilty at times because about a month before her death,…
Life with cancer
A lifelong friend of mine, Christopher Granger, has a blog called "The Bull Pen" and on it he is posting some very heartfelt memories of growing up as a child whose Mother was battling cancer. From the age of three through eighteen he knew no other life. If anyone would like to take a look please visit -…
My Father
Dear Father: It's been 15 years but it seems like yesterday. You died on Christmas morning, 2002. You always told me that when you die, "you hurt the people you leave behind." So true. But of course, not intentionally. It was snowing and you just sat there in your chair and left us without warning. All I knew is that you…
Traditions- death anniversary.....
Why am I making this so complicated? God it sounded so simple.... I wanted to do something special each year in memory of my mother. But I wanted it to be as special as she was. Something so amazing. So the whole world would know exactly what it lost when she died. Maybe a walk in her name with millions of people, or a…
15 years later, how I found peace with what was
January 13, 2003 is a day that will go down in history engraved in my heart forever. It is the day my mom lost her battle with cancer. A battle that started in 1984. A battle that has shaped my life and outlook on everything that happens to me and others. After 15 years without my mom I never could have imagined that the…
I can't stop thinking about my mom why it was my fault
Ever since my mom got breast cancer she told our 4 person family to not tell anyone else. We followed that rule and the cancer got worse and worse. I was too busy doing my homework and crap and forgetting that my mom needed major help. She did research on all the bullcrap juicing and ozone and all that stuff, but it did…
Lost the fight against breast cancer
My moms birthday is today.... It has been a very difficult day and will continue this week with Mother's Day around the corner... I was numb for so long, and now I feel so empty, alone and sad. Sad that she has missed so much... I was only 16 when she left... I wish she could see my now.

Losing multiple people
Hello, I lost my grandpa back in 2009 from prostate and lung cancer. It was awful. He completely changed, he refused treatment and just went downhill from there. We placed him in a nursing home (so he could get therapy from the stroke he had.) and he ended up with a very serious lung infection. We brought him home and 3…

In loving memory of an amazing wife, mother and grandmother Stamatoula
Today is mother's day - it's almost 6 months since my mom passed away and this weekend has been by far one of the hardest I have yet to face. I want everyone to know that my mom Stamatoula Dimitrakopoulos was an incredible human being. She truly saw the good in everyone and sacrificed very much of her life to give me, my…

What is your testimony?
Cancer: A True Story… Millions of people throughout the world are currently fighting for their lives; fighting against a disease that far too often claims the lives of those it infects. Cancer is atrocious. It is a disease of insurmountable power and like the armies of the north and the south during the Civil War, it has…

In memory of Axel Cierpinsky
A dear friend and classmate passed away yesterday in Italy after 2 year long fight with stage 4 colon cancer. He was a great guy, a loving husband, a father of 2 children. He was 47 years old. It's unfair. I am angry. Tomorrow I have to call his widow and I don't know what to say. Words are meaningless PS. I just called…
so mad so upset so sad
My mom passed away Oct 13, 2012 and I am still so upset. My heart feels as if its been ripped in two. She was taken from us way too soon. I'm 37 and I am so angry all the time. What the cancer did to her was so horrific, and will be burned into my memories forever. Nobody deserves to sufferthe way she did. I haven't been…
In Loving Memory of Gabe N Abby's Mom...
Linda Simmons, from the BC Board here, recently lost her three-year battle with inflammatory breast cancer. Remission was far too fleeting. Linda left behind two teen-aged children, Gabe and Abby, whom she absolutely adored. And devoted husband, Karl. Linda will always be remembered with great affection and sorely missed…
Memorial Tattoos??
I don't know when my mom's going, but with liver cancer spreading to her lymph nodes, they say she won't last through the year. I am an artist, and several months ago I had drawn a tattoo design for her memorial. I know people get memorial tats all the time, but I was just wondering if anyone on the board has gotten one,…

I feel you here, Little Edna
Dear Mom, I'm so glad your cancer happened before mine and I was blessed with a couple of years to love and care for you. Shortly after John and Jesus welcomed you home, I sat in your chair for chemo and felt the comfort of you near me. I could feel your hand on my old bald head as I slept in the recliner - you were and…
I miss you, Dad
I lost my Dad 6 weeks ago to Esophageal cancer. I miss him so much, more and more everyday. My Dad was the best man I knew. At 34, I still felt like his little girl. He and I got along great, and he always listened. He never judged me. I am so much like him, and I am so proud to be his daughter. Dad, I miss you more than…
Miss Mom & Dad a lot
I lost my Dad a year before my cancer diagnosis, and my Mom a couple years after my treatment. I miss them both terribly! They were so special.
Neuropothy
Do any of you have problems with neuropothy from chemo? If so, does it improve? What have you done to help? I am taking 300mg of gabapentin 3 times a day but the burning in my feet is worse. Any comments would be most appreciated.
My mother's scent
My mother passed on November 20, 2010 from T-Cell Lymphoma (sezary syndrome). I’ve been dealing with it the best that I can. Back around mother’s day of this year, I would often sit on my couch and pick up a strange scent. At first I thought it was from the couch, or I thought maybe the kids spilled something on the floor.…
My Mum
My mum passed away aged 63 from NSCLC Stage 3 B but progressed to Stage 4 on September 14th 2012 at 3:30am. I'm coping ok. She was my only family as my dad passed away in 2007 (after years of hard drinking and basically being so violent he had to, by court order, stay away from us) and I have no brothers or sisters. She…
