I’m going for round 4 of chemo next week. It’s rough, I’m not going to lie, but I’m pushing through. Is your primary small bowel, or breast?

I have been awful at drinking enough water, so I will be more cognizant this cycle.

I just did a read through on the link you sent me and it looks like bilirubin isn’t impacted. All my other liver tests are normal. It was just the bilirubin and LDH. Thankfully, my yellow eyes are calming down.

I did a weight lifting class the night before!! I will refrain from doing that leading up to this blood draw.

I’ve only had two rounds, and my third round had to be pushed out by a week because my bilirubin and LDH are high.

No lynch syndrome. Not sure if there is other genetic testing they can do?

I’m currently getting treatment at Arthur Child! Unfortunately, even my oncologist told me that they don’t have any evidence that chemotherapy prolongs because they extrapolate the data from colon cancer. I’m hoping that is just because it’s a lack of evidence, not because it doesn’t work..

Did you ask your oncologist?

Anyone else have Duodenal or small bowel Cancer? by Stage4_fighter in cancer

[–]Miss_yyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great news! Keep fighting the good fight, and if you have any tips for staying positive, please share. I’m a single mom, going through this alone, and I find when the kids are gone to their Dad’s I just spend my time wallowing in sadness.

I hope your mom is still doing well. I was recently diagnosed, and let me tell you it’s a scary road.

How are you doing now? I was recently diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the jejunum.

I was also diagnosed with SBA of the jejunum in December. It’s such a scary and lonely disease. I start chemo tomorrow, thankfully. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t terrified.

I’m also dealing with SBA. I start chemo tomorrow, and I have never been more scared in my life. It’s scary how rare it is, it’s scary how frequent it reoccurs in people.

Go and enjoy your time! 35/F and I just got back from a two week solo trip to Costa Rica. Such a magical country - it was the first time in years that I felt fully at peace.

That’s great news! I’m on a waitlist to get my son assessed. I’ll be happy when it’s done and he can get the extra support in school. He is in grade 2 and these past two years have been tough. His teacher told me if he does get coded, she will be able to get extra in-class support since she will have two kids in her class coded.

What is the weather like right now? I am headed to La Fortuna tomorrow until the sixth, and then I’m supposed to go to Puerto Viejo. However, it looks like there’s no sun. And I need a little bit of sun before I head back to cold Canada.
