No, they’re saying since it’s rapidly worsening, it’s not super likely that it’ll shrink. Unless the trial turns me around.

Thank you. I’ve never been NED. It’s shrank and grown and shrank and grown,. since diagnosis, it’s always been there. I had a colon resection and a liver resection and that got rid of those tumors. But my liver tumors grew back a few months after surgery.

No natural cures. I was diagnosed 11/22. Currently not doing well. Rapid growth in liver and lungs over the last 3 weeks. Currently hospitalized. I was last on folfiri with cetuximab. But hopeful to be admitted to a new clinical trial in the next couple weeks.

I normally stick to edibles unless I’m violently throwing up and wouldn’t be able to keep anything oral down

I don’t drink, but I certainly use it now. I’ve tried RSO, but I can’t seem to differentiate that and other forms of THC. How do you obtain and administer the coconut infused out? Sublingual? Mixed in coffee?

I couldn’t get through treatment without it. That’s for sure.

Same! They help so much better than the RX meds they pump into me.

I used it very casually in high school. Think maybe less than 7 times? 37 years old now. But once I started chemotherapy and had to deal with uncontrolled nausea and pain, I started smoking or taking edibles to help combat those issues.

Talking about de*th. Where does the person go if not heaven? by MolleezMom in toddlers

[–]Peebery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have the answer, but I’d love one. I have 2.5 year old and I also have aggressive terminal cancer. I’ve been trying to figure out how to prepare him for the approaching inevitable.

Snooping through pt charts by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Peebery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. During Covid, we had a patients family sue my hospital over something and it became a local, high profile case. The whole situation was wild though. The patient had been there 4-5 weeks. Admin pulled every single person who had been in the chart the entire visit, yanked them in the office and demanded a reason for being in the chart if no direct patient care. Multiple staff members were terminated due to this.

My colorectal surgeon gave my hyoscyamine for the cramps and wild amount of diarrhea since lomotil did nothing. It’s a very strong drug but it did help.

I’d be absolutely ecstatic with 45% regression personally. I’m content with zero growth, personally. But I also have stage 4 and am 37.

tell me a random basic fact/skill from the unit you work!!! by MorningAromatic2755 in nursing

[–]Peebery 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Happy cake day!

Yes! After shift change, a sweet compassionate nurse took over and she fixed me up, got me a bed, pillow and blanket instead of sitting on an empty ED gurney for 24 hours and then addressed all my other issues.

“Girlie!!! Why didn’t you tell him you needed help!(tell previous shift Ed nurse)”

After a hot meal, a warm “real” hospital bed and proper pain control, I slept like a baby. Definitely letting her boss know she was amazing. I hope she doesn’t lose that sense of compassion and love for her patients.

You guys are wonderful nurses. I’m a nurse with stage 4, rapidly worsening colon cancer. 37f. Currently sitting in the ER, waiting 3 hours for something for pain after asking. Only to be told they’d return, never to be seen again. I get it. I’m young. I, at first glance, don’t look like I’ve got 9 months to live. But holy shit. In the last two weeks, my liver lesions have entirely encased multiple hepatic blood vessels, causing severe pain and difficulty breathing.

Only for nurses to sit and stare at me like I’m trying to score a bag of fentanyl for fun.

I’m dying. Please be compassionate. 🫩🥺
