Thanks for all the great advice so far ( effect on family 06-10-08).
I have an appointment for the 11th of July to start treatments for stage 3 colon cancer. I was told would have four to five weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. followed by a month off (to cook, please say that I wont start to glow :) ) then surgery followed by another surgery to remove the temp colostomy bag folowed by 4 months of more chemotherapy.
How fatigued will I get? Will I get sick? will I be able to work still?
I will be getting my initial treatment from the VA center in Long Beach, Ca. Anyone out there been treated at that facility? Any pointers on how to get through the treatment?
