    Update
    Thanks for the information and it sure sounds like you have been through a lot. Ultimately the decision to have treatment or not is up to you and glad that your doctor is still seeing you. Glad that you are feeling better too. I'm still having problem forgetting things or the words not coming out right. Hope it gets better for you soon.

    Your welcome,
    I thought the Mets to liver or abdomen were specific to small intestine cancer but from what Ive been reading it seems most cancers do move on to the liver. I really know next to nothing about my sickness. It seems I didnt ask enough questions. I have no idea what kind of chemo I was taking. I feel so lucky to be doing as good as I am. You know I never heard if the cancer was in a certain stage. I do know they tested 25 lymphnodes and 2 tested positive for cancer. The Dr in Indy told my sisters & I that he wasnt too concerned about that. Thank you for the good wishes. Everybody has been so helpful.
    ~Cindy

    I'm trying the top 50 best
    I'm trying the top 50 best things to eat when you have cancer. There are whole websites that talk about foods to eat and foods to avoid and why. You can google what to eat during cancer. What to avoid during cancer. I haven't figured it all out myself but my plate has become very colorful lately and I've discovered the joy of crockpot cooking in the last two weeks. The brighter foods are supposed to be the best. The challenge is to figure out how to eat them without sabotaging the chemo progress.

    I've become a great source of entertainment for my kids since I've been mixing up words or saying okay wait a minute, the words in there . . . . .[play jeopardy music] . . . and then everyone pops out words and I say no not that one, no that's not it and finally I find the word. I don't really like fish which is an issue. I've increased my tuna fish intake to once a week. Canned salmon is actually recommended on the websites. It has to be wild. I bought the canned salmon but have yet to try it. I read that the canned salmon is just as good as fresh store bought for its nutritional value.

    Thanks everyone
    I will start looking into some of these Web sites. Dont know why I never thought of it before. And I will certainly add more salmon, tuna to my diet. Have had a couple of books recommended. Lots of new info for me to check out. I hate it that you all are going through this chemobrain stuff but Im glad to find out Im not the only one. I literally know no one else, closely enough, to ask these questions. My family has been very lucky in the fact that we hadnt had cancer touch us personally until me.

    It is called chemobrain in various places. My mom ended chemo in2010. Chemo brain is a mainstay now along with neurapothy. She has a reflexologist to help with that.

    Dont know how to delete
    My phone was acting up and I ended up posting the same comment many times. Do not see a way to delete the extras.

    I'm the first too
    In my family, I'm also the first and hopefully the last. I've had step-cousin's, in-laws, etc., but never flesh and blood (until myself) have any cancer, so you never think it's going to happen to you, and who the heck ever heard of colon cancer; until it strikes? Not me.
    Which means this colon cancer board has been so wonderful, insightful, and many here are like family to me since finding it, and learning from all the helpful information that I have discovered from their experiences.
    It's always nice to know we are not alone,that there are good people out here willing to share their experiences with us and that's as Martha Stewart would put it; "is a good thing"
