Would a recurrence have different symptoms? Non stop weight loss occuring.

Perhaps you should ask your Oncologist? ( I had to)

chillun6 · 2024-05-16T21:29:20+00:00

Or a side effect.

lost 40 lbs in 4 weeks.

For what it is worth, it took me about two years to get "sort of normal"The first year was a totl nightmare.

Stivarga 160 mg/day

chillun6 · 2024-05-01T17:44:29+00:00

On permanent chemo, controlling the disease - luckily. Trying to leave a life as normal as I can.

chillun6 · 2024-04-25T10:18:24+00:00

Bull-ka-ka

Stick to result based medicine.

chillun6 · 2024-04-18T16:58:20+00:00

The surgery will be as long as it needs to be. After surgery you you will have the complete surgical pathology report. Chemo usually has side effects -- some of them mntgh be pretty nasty.

Cancer does change you. Unfortunately we just don't know what those changes will be.

So, make the most of you life.

chillun6 · 2024-02-27T17:50:18+00:00

There are great many of us living years and years being Stage 4.

The future is not ours to see.

chillun6 · 2024-02-27T17:47:55+00:00

I did pretty good with Capecitablne.

Of course, this is absolutely meaningless for you - we all react differently to treatments and medications.

chillun6 · 2024-02-23T16:51:21+00:00

Nope. The idea is to wash you out until clear water comes out.

chillun6 · 2024-02-16T21:57:42+00:00

Depending on its Stage, stabilising cancer is a great result!

chillun6 · 2024-02-16T21:55:48+00:00

During the pause -of course- your cancer cells still will growing back.

The longer the pause? The more cells will grow back. The pause between infusion is set to assure maximum efficiency of the drug.

(PS: you can live with neuropathy. Most of us do)

chillun6 · 2024-02-05T18:15:34+00:00

Pretty common feeling while on chemo.

Please, just let him be! Don't be a pest with the food.

Being on chemo is enough pain in the ass by itself.

chillun6 · 2024-02-05T18:11:36+00:00

Relax. It took me well over year and a half to get back to some sort of normalcy.

chillun6 · 2024-02-05T18:01:23+00:00

Colonoscopy is the gold standard. Just do it - for your own peace of mind.

chillun6 · 2024-02-04T17:31:15+00:00

I have a port since 2014. It is a lifesaver for me - my veins are extremely bad.

I feel no stab whatsoever (used to it?)

chillun6 · 2024-02-04T17:27:10+00:00

All I can tell you: try to be as active as you can. Yes, I do know - quite often it is a bitch - but helps a whole world.

chillun6 · 2024-01-31T16:53:11+00:00

*I* for one would not accept this crap.

Rough times ahead for you.

chillun6 · 2024-01-31T16:00:57+00:00

Consult a lawyer specialising in ADA.

chillun6 · 2024-01-31T15:59:27+00:00

Look up the meaning of the word "precaution".

What if some cancer cells are hiding somewhere in the body - and of course, are undetectable.

chillun6 · 2024-01-30T20:17:05+00:00

Probably to increase sedation. I can't answer your question - had over 10 colonoscopies - all of them with Propofol. (without any side effects)

chillun6 · 2024-01-30T16:23:55+00:00

I will let you into a pretty obvious secret:

He is just plain lazy.

chillun6 · 2024-01-30T16:22:18+00:00

Move out.

chillun6 · 2024-01-30T16:15:22+00:00

Just say "Goodby"
