Hi everyone,
I just got back from my first cruise. I had a wonderful time and was able to relax! The time flew by.
My ct results of my abdomen were normal. Finally some good news!
Now it's back to reality and getting rid of cancer. I'm getting my port tomorrow and starting chemo next week. While I'm not looking forward to it, it will be a relief to feel like I'm doing something proactive.
Thanks to everyone who replied to my post on folfox. I feel like I now know what to expect. I'll hold off on getting a wig and see what happens. It doesn't sound like I'll need one.
Stay positive and have a great day!
Jamie

    Hi Jamie. Nice to hear that you had some R n R before you tackle the heavy stuff. Let us know how you cope and don't be bashfull about coming and venting if that chemo crap gives you hell.
