It seems there are a lot of us who have just started, or are starting up within a week.

Please post your Dx and your chemo plan here.

    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,
