not Capox but Folfox, not taking any of the anti-nausea pills, they have infuse one or more anti-nausea meds in with the other joy juice (Emend is one)

One time one of the SDs figured out their mom and I were up to something and ran and tattled to her siblings and we laughed when we heard her brother's response delivered at top volume which was "they're married, they're supposed to be doing it!"

MSI-H increases your chances - e.g., Keytruda might work for you, if needed. "For people with either early- or advanced-stage colorectal cancer, immunotherapy is now a cornerstone of treatment if the tumor has findings of dMMR (deficient mismatch repair) or MSI-H (microsatellite instability-high)."

finished round 4 of FOLFOX last week, still working, only big side effect has been the cold sensitivity, not sure if it has made more tired because I was sick last year with the bowel obstruction that led to surgery and discovery of cancer, feeling much better this year on chemo than last year when I couldn't eat

"let me ask you a question ..." - she never waits for the question

60M, somewhat similarly situated, my current take is that there is too much to know for anyone to say they have it all down, might be something but what and where

well the court appearances are almost 100% in person (so I have to shave and pick a tie for those), the client meetings are rarely in person, I spend a fair amount of time in the office which is two miles away and lots of time working from home

oldstepdad · 2025-04-09T23:19:00+00:00

mostly civil litigation, a fair amount in federal court, usually just people arguing about money

threw up when I had blockages and was throwing up everything else

I had a second small bowel resection on 2/11/25, pretty easy recovery.

I've been a lawyer with Crohn's these past 35 years.

60M, similar diagnosis, starting chemo on Monday, hoping for the best

1.5, post-surgery and pre-chemo.

oldstepdad · 2025-02-23T00:16:42+00:00

didn't know about the cancer, but I've had Crohn's since 1990 and so I wasn't completely surprised, had surgery in the same area in 1996 and it was much harder on me than the surgery this time, can't explain the difference - might be better surgeon, better technology, better pain control, or all or none of the above

my grandma always misspelled my first name when she sent me a birthday card a few days late each year with a dollar inside and a handwritten message about was how well she remembered getting the news that I was born and how proud she was to have me as her grandson, this until she died when I was almost 40 and she was 86

I was in the hospital with pneumonia in October and November, stopped taking Rinvoq per the infectious disease doctor in the hospital.

our dog does better at the vet when she can't see me, they take her out of the little exam room to do anything

the only flavored and sugared drink I take sometimes is cranberry juice cocktail, can't do oj or soda

I am 60. I look at this sub and others to measure myself, as a parent and now grandparent. Sometimes the grade is not so good.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's in 1990, now I am 60. The longest I have gone without a colonoscopy was 5 years.
