Thanks for sharing your story.
My dad was diagnosed in May with colon cancer which mets to his liver. It is stage IV and it doesn't look like surgery is an option. He just finished his 9th chemo treatment and the tumors have shrunk 70% but we are tring to decide what to do after chemo. I am looking into the Breuss diet and other alternative treatments. I am also looking for another surgeon who may be willing to operate. Can you offer any advice - we are looking for our miracle.
Thank you and god bless.
Hi there,
Reading your story - i hope you have more insight for me. My boyfriend who is only 38 has been diagnosed with Colon cancer and sec mets to the liver. He started Chemo exactly 2 months after being diagnosed and surgery. He is experiencing bad side effects, nausea, runny tummy, a terrible rash all over his face, neck, chest and back.
We were told last week that his prognoses is not good and that they can only extend his life but not cure him. He is receiving FOLFOX chemo. It give me hope to read that your dad's tumour has shrunk 70%. We live in South Africa, i'm not too sure where you're from. All i want to know is whats your dad's prognoses if you say "tyring to decided what to do after chemo"?
I cannot tell you how much i am worrying about our prognoses! I am scared and don't know what to expect.
Thanks. God Bless to you and your dad. The is ALWAYS Hope!
