I began chemo in mid-August 2007. In April, when I asked the doctor to see the scan on his computer, I counted at least 12 tumours. My scan in January 2008 showed an important improvement in the size of my tumors, which had shrunk by about half. My April 2008 scan showed a further modest reduction. My next scan is on August 29. I have had about 24 treatments so far. At first, FOLFOX every 2 weeks with Avastin. In May of this year I asked to switch to Xeloda pills as I could not bear the thought of another 5FU bottle attached to me for 3 days. Also, 5FU made my tongue swell up in addition to it being covered in multiple sores, which made talking and eating painful and difficult. Being tied to a bottle for 3 days in a row evry 2 weeks also made me very depressed. Things have been better since I switched to pills. I hardly get tongue sores anymore and my mouth is a lot less sensitive. I have had diarrhea episodes and I have hand and foot syndrome, but I still prefer the pills. I only need to go to the hospital every 3 weeks now for Irinotecan and Avastin. I am nauseous for about 2 days after my hospital treatment. All in all, however, my quality of life has much improved since I've switched to Xeloda pills.     Has anyone else been diagnosed with inoperable colon cancer with multiple metastases all over the liver? If so, how long have you been given and how long has it been? Have you outlived your prognosis?I got married to a wonderful man 2 months after my diagnosis and would like to share life with him as long as I can. Also, my 31-year-old son has just told me that he is getting married in January and that his soon-to-be-wife and him want to try to have children right away. I've always looked forward to being a grand-mother and I would like to stay alive as long as I can to enjoy my grand-children after they are born. I would like them to remember me. Does anyone have a story of hope for me?     http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,27121,0.htm Sagitelle Thu, 14 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMT I had a colon resection Nov. 2008. Was unable to complete chemo because of a serious allergic reaction. I had a debulking surgery July 2009 and enjoyed good health for 10 months. Another debulking surgery July 2011 and good health for 8 months. I now have hard tumors in my stomach muscles and several mucus producing tumors in my adominal cavity. Will not have another debulking surgery. I need information on what to expect during the next 6 months as I have been told my cancer will not go to the liver or lungs. Thank you http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,66260,0.htm Dabba Sat, 19 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT My daughter was diagnosed on December 21, 2010 with stage IV colon fencer. A few days earlier she had extreme pain in her right side, so much that she felt she needed to go to the emergency room. A few hours later they did a sonogram and found a mass in her liver. They immediately hospitalized her and over the next few days did additional tests, including a colonoscopy. The results confirmed the diagnosis - the cancer originated in the colon and had spread to her liver and lungs. A few months before this she had complained of pain in her side and back. We did go to her doctor who thought maybe she pulled a muscle; she was taking a physical education class at the time. She went to see her doctor two separate times but each time they did nothing further. My daughter at the age of 17 had been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. They prescribed asacol (a form of aspirin) which she took for years. She had blood in her stools which seemed to be controlled more or less with this regimen. Stress seemed to worsen her symptoms but she just learned to live with it. After her colon cancer diagnosis I learned that she had previously been throwing up every day. This started about a month or so before. It was mostly at night, just like clockwork, and it was violent. She wasn't feeling sick; she just had to throw up and then she was better. Well long story short, the doctor's were not painting a rosy picture about her condition. Basically they talked about palliative care and quality of life. She underwent three separate rounds of chemo, but the cancer proved to be the winner. She took her last breath on August 9, 2011. She would have turned 25 on September 15th. We did seek a second opinion at CTCA. They were extremely helpful; at least we learned what treatments would and would not work. I am starting a blog about her journey. I have so much information that I want to she about all that she went through. If you care to follow her journey please visit daretohopeanddream.com . It is a work in progress but my hope is that it may be helpful to others. May god bless all of you. http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,65219,0.htm Tgoodbody Sun, 25 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT Hello All, I have been diagnosed with Idiopathic Neutropenia (unknown as to why I have it)  I don't have cancer, but my hematologist/ oncologist is wanting to put me on Neupogen.  I am just wondering if there is anyone with the same diagnosis as me and if so, what did your physician do for you?  Help Help Help http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,63782,0.htm Wendolyn7 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT Back in February of 2008 my Dad was diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer.  His original chemo regimine worked great for the first 6 months and brought his CEA from 13 to 4.9.  However, it stopped working abruptly and his CEA rose up to 19.  Now, 8 weeks into his new treatment his CEA is down to 8.5 (still high).  Even though his current CEA is high, I would assume that this is a good sign that the new treatment has decreased his CEA level.  His nurse told him that this means that the new treatment is targeting the cancer cells.I guess I just want to hear from someone else that this is a good sign that his CEA is lower... http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,30161,0.htm DinaZ Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi everyone, I'm really new here and have been reading through some of the posts.  I've been learning some stuff but most of it is scary.  I'm 26 years old and was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer (spread to liver and lymph nodes) on February 15th (I have no family history, I don't even like red meat...).  On the 2/22 I went in for a left hemicolectomy, which I'm healing well from.  I've also had two rounds of chemo (Folfox and Avastin) and have 3 more scheduled. I know it's good to have support of people who know what you're going through but I've been hesitant and I'm wondering if I should just stay off of the internet when it comes to this stuff.  Like I'd never heard it referred to as "terminal cancer" until today.  I don't see myself as terminal.  I've read some posts and see where doctors give some people an estimated amount of time left.  I just feel lucky that no doctors have told me how much time to expect because I think that would make it so much harder.  I was silly and googled the survival rate, which I feel I would have been better off not knowing. I'm so sorry for anyone who's going through this or anyone who has family who's going through it.  I have a husband and a 6 year old daughter and I feel like it's almost easier for me to go through it than to see someone I love going through it.  I don't see that I have any option but to make it through, I guess I almost hadn't even thought that I may not.  Only when I first heard cancer from my GI doctor did I think, 'people die from cancer' but since then it hasn't been a thought. If everything goes according to plan, my liver lesions are shrinking and I'll have them removed sometime in the next 2 months, followed by more chemo and that'll be that!   I was wondering if anyone has suggestions about things to eat when you don't feel like you can eat anything.  On my chemo weeks, food sounds so gross my diet has basically been saltine crackers.  I've talked to the dietician at the cancer center I go to but it's easy to say that I'll even though I don't want to than it is to actually do it. Also, I've been finding out more about the liver surgery and was wondering if anyone has been through it and how hard is it to recover from in comparison to a left hemicolectomy.  I was in the hospital for 5 days after that surgery and I just didn't know how the recovery rate was in comparison. I'm sorry this is so jumbled, my nerves are up and I just have so many thoughts that it's hard for me to get them all down in a way that makes any sense haha. Thank you if you read this and thanks for any replies! http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,65370,0.htm Starryskies214 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMT I'd love to find someone out there with appendix cancer.  I have goblet cell carcinoid and am aware there are many different kinds of appendix cancer even though the dang stuff is so rare. I had my first surgery Christmas Eve 2009, followed by the HIPEC procedure in March and now six months of systemic chemotherapy. My last two CT scans are clear.  My doctor says I'm now in remission.  Can it be true? Would love to find others with goblet cell carcinoid to discuss this disease. http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,52858,0.htm mercedes6408 Thu, 11 Nov 2010 00:00:00 GMT I'm looking for info to make decision for colon cancer stage 3 treatments. Alternative versus chemo. After surgery Pathology report showed 1 of 8 lymph nodes with cancer cells. After surgery PET scan didn't find any nodal or distant metastasis. CEA blood test was < 1ng/ml. The Adjuvant report showed 66.7%  chances 5 years cancer free without chemo, 78.9% with chemo. That was a good news.  This is for my wife, she is 71 years young and ready to fight, but considering immune system strengthening instead of chemo.  Please help in choosing the path.  http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,66197,0.htm orvrcolon3 Tue, 15 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT Hi, After 4 months of chemo, FOLFOX 4 plus erbitux the scan shows stable disease compared to Ct pet scan if two months after start of chemo. After two months of chemo the scan showed 50% reduction in tumour size for the mets to liver. Niow after two months it shows stable disease. Does that mean chemo is not working ? I am confused. Oncologist says good report as atleast there are no new lesions. In the scan report it shows one lesion has increased slightly 7 mm in size and there is a polyp in sigmoid colon with metabolic uptake of SUV 19. Can anyone help in deducing this for me? should I continue with same chemo of FOLFOX4 plus erbitux bi weekly and only erbitux weekly ? Should I be looking at some other course of treatment to further reduce lesion size in the liver mets? Thanking you in anticipation. http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,66184,0.htm Shitulpatel Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT my husband just turned 34 years old,and was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer metastasis liver,lymph nodes are not attacked ...pleeeaaaaaase any "GOOD" survival stories,im open to everything. he had done 4 chemo (avastin +eloxatin) we have a scan on may 11th and then 4 more cycles of chemo...he is on xeloda as well between chemos.the side effects of chemos and xeloda r supportable,a little fatigue and some numness in his hands,and his feet and hands r turning dark!!!!.. i ve read on z net that 5 % of stage 4 cancer can life up to 5 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it s soooo depressing to read such things,he is young.. http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,58921,0.htm jinane Thu, 05 May 2011 00:00:00 GMT I received test results today that indicated that my entire rectum needs to be removed with a resection of the colon. I was wondering if anyone has ever had this surgery and what I should expect. The doctor said I would have an urgency for a few weeks to have a BM and will be running to the bathroom. I also will lose some control over my bowels because of muscles that will need to heal. It is kind of scary to think about and I am only 45 not ready to wear diapers just yet.

Thank you MB http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,66160,0.htm bootsma Sun, 13 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT So glad that I found this place.  Reading the stories has given me hope.  I don't like to hear the "not cureable". The Doctors don't know everything. I had over a foot of my colon removed along with a bunch of lymph nodes 4 weeks ago today.  I started Chemo May 1st.  I get oxaliplatin, and 5-FU. I go home with a fanny pack full of the 5-FU for 48 hours.  I will get Avastin next time also.  (I wasn't a full month post surgery so they wouldn't do it this last time).  I had bloody stool for quite a while which I ignored.  I just thought it was a hemorrhoid.  Around the holidays I started feeling sick.  Just worn down, nausea, and feeling bla.  It kept getting worse and worse and the bleeding got worse.  I finally went to the Dr. in March.  I then had extensive blood work, which let to  a CT scan and a colonoscopy. So now I am fighting the cancer on/in the liver with the chemo for 3 months, then I go in for another CT scan and we go from there. It's nice to have people to talk to, who know what I am going through.  Lisa http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,66063,0.htm lisaanniepants Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT Last wednesdy I was told I have cancer. That was all the doctor said, but i know it has to be either colon or rectal. From what i am reading online, it must be Stage 3 Rectal Cancer, because I had an abscess that needed to be drained, and while doing that the doctor did a biopsy which is how he found the cancer. This after I had been going back and forth to the E>R with severe rectal pain since October. So, the dr. does not seem to want to be in contact with me any longer, I am 53 and a week has gone by with no communication from a doctor of what I neeed to do or if i have a chance of living. I even had to go to the e.r and ask for them to give me better pain medication as mine wasn't working. I was on vicodin but they changed me to didlaudin. I still have a lot of pain but what can i do? I'm in the bathroom too frequently and usually just pass gas, or nothing at all. I have to drink prune juice to keep from getting horribly constipated. I don't know what to do, I knnow when he did the biopsy he said it had gone into the lymph node...which i could have told him because i have a huge lump in my groin. Can anyone please help me with what i should do now? I have applied for disability so i can have some insurance, which is why i think these drs. are ignoring me, i had no insurance. But i don't want it to continue spreading while i wait to hear from a dr.  Please can someone help me? If i am going to die, I need someone to say that, I have eight grown children and six grandchildren who need to prepare. Are there drugs so i won't feel any pain as I die? I am really tired of being in pain already. First they thought it was hemmorhoids, then my sciatic acting up now it is cancer...look how much time has been wasted. If anyone could walk me through this i would appreciate it. http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,65667,0.htm momofeight Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMT I HAVE ALOT OF BLOATING STOMACH CRAMPS AND KNOTS EVERYDAY THE PAST YEAR I HAVE BOWEL MOVEMENTS ALMOST EVERY DAY WITHIN 15 MINUTES AFTER I WAKE UP SOMETIMES ITS EXTREMELY BAD CRAMPS UNTIL I PASS HARD STOOL THEN CRAMPS AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER AND STOOOL IS SOFTER AND THEN 3 OR 4 MORE BOUTS OF CRAMPS WITH THE STOOL GETTING SOFTER EACH TIME TO WHERE IS LIKE MUSH THE STOOL THEN HAS RED BLOOD ON IT...

I decided to make it and try it on my husband. He hasn't had chemo since July because something always happens to prevent him from having it. We have miss 2 apointments for chemoembolization because of a fever. Decamber the 16th we were suppose to have the chemoembolization but once again he had a fever so they sent him home but they ran a cea on him before we left. This morning we went in once again for the chemoembo and they ran another cea, on the 16th it was 1058 and today without any chemo or treatment other than the hemp oil I have been giving him since the 17th his cea was 740!!! He has clorectal cancer with mets to the liver and lympnodes, he has been smoking it for about a year and a 1/2 to promote hunger, his lungs are still free of any cancer! When I asked someone about what the difference would be from smoking it and eating the oil I was told that smoking it goes to the lungs and brain but eating it will filter through the liver and distribute through the whole body. Just wanted to let others know about this and our resaults at this point. I will post at next cea testing. We are suppose to start Avastin again soon but until then I will keep feeding him the hemp oil. http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,42683,0.htm witeludesme Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT I am stage 3 colorectal cancer, 4 weeks post op.  We have tried Hollister bags and Coloplast, and I am also having watery stools..............leaking daily.  My skin is bad and I need help with product recommendations and diet recommendations.   Bless you all.....hope to hear from you http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,65783,0.htm retirednurse111 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMT In Feb my brother passed away from advanced colon cancer.

Over these past 25 years, these rural herbalists were able to use local herbs used by their their ancestors who according to them where great medicine men during their life time.They garther these herbs around their environment to formulate herbal medicine which they have been succefully offering to their local patients.Many local patients taken herbal medicine prepared by these herbalist experience healing after few days of oral taken of herbal medicine prepared by the herbalists.Many healed with these herbs are survivors of cancer to this day.Many have lived without reccurence for close to 20 years since treated with the herbs. Apart from the good result experienced by local patients after using the herbs,many relatives and family members of local people diagnosed with cancer who took the medicine to prevent the having cancer as adviced by these herbalists, have not been reporting cancer occurence. I am confident in telling the story of these rural African herbalists to people and patients living in other countries because I am confident that apart from their healing of local people in their localities from cancer,other patients living outsite their locality such as in foreign countries could receive their healing by receiving their herbs and following the instruction on how the herbs is taken. Considering their successes in curing many local people diagnosed with cancer,I have  no single doubt in my mind that their herbal medicine would help many cancer patients in other countries in their struggle to defeat cancer and live normal life again. If you have cancer or knows someone sick with cancer or you have a family history of cancer,I advice you to try the medicine offered by these herbalist I will assist anyone  interested in their medicine in contacting them and receiving their medicine.I believe those trusting to try their medicine will experience good result,and when they experience good result, they won't hesitate to tell other patients about it and in so doing many more lives will be  saved: meagenenwa@yahoo.com http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,66062,0.htm meaige Mon, 07 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT
