Another Stage IV living on Hollywood Beach transplanted from NYC. Colon Cancer diagnosed 11/2006, Stage IV diagnosed 4/2009. Hylar region and right lung.

Feel fine, swim and bike. Had 25 weeks of Folfiri and Avastin last year, stopped end of Sept. That is only standard treatment I have had. Have been self medicating otherwise, successfully I might add. Probably can't post what I have done here without being deleted.

Hey Hollywood
I think you can post anything you're doing to help youself as long as the substances are legal (and that I would keep private only to ensure a degree of security). I don't believe it would bode well if the ACS started censoring the membership. Oh that might offer their opinion about something you are or aren't doing, and that's anyone's right, but to censor you, I don't think that would enhance their cause.

So I say post away.

Not a bad idea. Maybe we can make it work. I've already "friended" everyone on this thread. If we use the CSN Email it shouldn't be hard to coordinate.

Looking for Top Oncologist Recommendation in Sarasota/Bradenton

My Dad was just diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer a week ago and had part of his colon removed. He's moving onto the chemo stage but the oncologist he was referred to by the medical group that did the surgery doesn't seem to be proposing more than a basic regimen.

I know there are many advanced treatment options and I'd love it if anyone here could refer me to an oncologist in the Sarasota/Bradenton FL area that can give him the best care available. Deepest thanks!

Hello Jim, and welcome to the forum

I am sorry about your dad, and hope that you get the answers you are looking for.

Because this is a very old thread, may I suggest you start your very own thread here https://csn.cancer.org/forum/128 on the forum home page.  I am sure we have members here, who live in the Florida area.
