Welcome
Welcome Luckygirl2,
Glad to meet you and hope you will find this a good group to be a part of. I know it has been a great help to me. Thanks for filling in your profile. It helps us get to know you and your particular circumstance. I too had right colon cancer and am almost 2 years out from last chemo treatment and so far, so good.
Glad to hear you are feeling well.

"I wish I had found this site June of last year! So much wealth of knowledge."
Just keep in mind, that it's -all- just opinions, not "fact"!
We all took our own way; some of us have "made it", and
some of us have not, and you can not assume that one way
was better than another. You can only know what -your own-
"gut" tells you is right; you have to re-learn to listen to your
own intuition, your own instincts for survival.
You'll do well, as long as you don't entrust your life to anyone
other than -you-.
Best wishes for better health!

I felt the same way a month ago, but have found some nice people to talk too. We are all in the same boat. Just ask away, good insight on this forum..0 -

I am glad you have joined, I rememember when I first joined, it was so nice to be able to speak openly about any fears or questions I had or have still. Everyone is always so willing to lift you up when you are down and offer so much wisdom. Good luck in your journey.0 -

I see where you had both as well, frankly I didn't like either one..dealing with the neuropathy in my fingers and feet. I think I'm going to try the glutomine that was suggested even though I'm no longer on chemo...surely it can't hurt..will check with pharmacist to make sure it won't taint all my other Meds. My onc moved my June CT up to next month for both our peace of minds since I've noticed a few changes in bms and the pain I'm having. He is thinking just scar tissue but I think he could see I was a little apprehensive.
I feel so much more at peace though after finding all of you...you've been there and if you guys don't know ...
Thank you all so much!0 -
Welcome
Sorry you have to be here but out of the support sites, this one is very good. You get people from various stages/diagnosis who've tried various treatments. Unfortunately, no one's cured cancer and there's no "right" way to deal with cancer. Hopefully you'll find information and guidance that will help you make informed smart choices. I've been fortunate to have found a great medical team at the start who has a plan that suits me. It may not suit someone else.
We're a very expressive and passionate group at times. Usually there's no problem getting input from many people on a topic and rarely will there be a consensus. That's what makes this site so much fun!!!
That's the beauty of cancer, it's customizable for each of us because we're unique, just like everyone else ;-)

Again- sorry to meet you here but it is an invaluable place to use in any way that helps you. Some (like me) come and go when we need it and others remain as stalwarts to this community. All are welcome and respected which has always impressed me. Find what helps you here and use it to support your recovery.

Welcome!
We are sorry to hear that you have cancer, and our thoughts and prayers are with you!
This has been a good resource for me to hear other's experiences and resources for diet, etc... We all fear the unknown and reading other's experiences helped me prepare for the side effects. Mental preparedness helped me a lot!
Bananas, Gator Aid, and Ginger helped me get calories when nothing else was palatable.
Best Always, mike0
