in Colorectal Cancer #1

Brief Story:

Had surgery March 20, 2002 at 40 years of age.

Stage 3C rectal cancer ~ 10 positive lymph nodes.

No recurrences.

Just wanted to share and give hope to anyone starting this journey that it is treatable and beatable.

    It so nice and uplifting to

    It so nice and uplifting to read your story. I have stage 3 also, two massive tumors were removed so then I had to have the resection, and be on 12 sessions of FOLFOX for 6 months. I will have the 3rd session on May 12. Been in so much pain every time I have the pump going. Then I am now freaking out because of my hair thinning...I am so scared!! I still have 5 more months to go to complete the chemo treatment. Can you tell me what to expect while on this therapy?? A head's up is appreciated. God bless you.
