A beautiful birthday present
Pam,
Thank you so much for sharing your story. My husband was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer just days before his 58th birthday in April. This past week he has had a major allergic reaction to oxalyplatin and yesterday we discovered that he has blood clots in his leg, anticipating that he may be taken off Avastin. He just completed his sixth treatment out of twelve and we were wondering how much more chemo he was going to be able to handle.
Today is my 56th birthday and your story was so wonderful to hear. Gives so much hope even when things seem to be going south rapidly. If you have any tips that you think may have helped you make such a marvelous milestone, please share them with us!
God bless and many thanks,

what am i doing? nothingjanie1 said:WOW.
Thanks Pam. I'm feeling pretty low...that helps. Then how long has it been since you've had any treatment? Curious about your diet, supplements, juicing? What the heck are u doing? Thanks.
I had my chemo as soon as healed up enough from the surgery over 6 years ago. I do nothing special, I eat and drink what I want. vitamin D3 and multivitamin. I have meat potatoes vegetables rice noodles bread soda sugar just like i always did, so I have no advice about any special diets or regimen, though I don't think it hurts to eat as healthy as you can, I just don't do it. lol
Best

Update
Thanks for the update and letting us know how well you are doing. You are right, until we face something like this personally, we never think we can handle and then we do. Glad you are still here too.

Date
Forgot to mention, isn't it something how you remember every date of your journey, but then can't remember more important ones. Oh well LOL.
