    Spring finish or earlier
    CT scan for abdominal pain in June 09 showed tumor in cecum. Follow up scan and colonoscopy biopsy confirmed cancer. Open right hemicolectomy surgery July 20, 8 days in hospital, slow recovery due to constant diahrea.

    Dx stage IIB, thru to outside of colon wall, 0 nodes, no mets
    Started 12 cycle Folfox Sept 2, end mid-Feb 2010. Going ok, worst is neuropathy and gas cramps/gastro irritation. Toxic gas is killing the family!
    Being treated at Dana Farber in Boston.

    best wishes to all here,
