Side Effects | Sexual side effects
Sex life slowly dwindled to nothing. Feel unattractive, no desire, scarred, fat, and lost the glow of living.

Very emotional! This was the turning point for me that I really had cancer. I didn't know what to do what those roller coaster emotions.

Drug or Chemo Therapy | Chemotherapy
I have had severe nausea, vomiting and colon cramping, which is a hindrance to intake nutritional value from food. The arm "PATCH", along with nausea pills that dissolve on my tongue, have been the only thing keeping me out of the hospital. Have gone through severe dehydration. My experience is that I have to keep drinking…

Shock and shaky for a day or so until it sunk in. Made appt. with the surgeon immediately. My mom had the exact same cancer in her 50s and didn't survive past the chemo. Scared to death!

What is up?
So, is WhatNext dead? I am all in favor of "letting life happen" but it seems that is ALL that is on this site anymore. Feel really bad for newly diagnosed looking for answers or support. They will not find either here.

What's up with the spam and ads?
Who is a moderator on WN? Colby or Dave can you have this stopped? I was helping when my brother in law Greg Pierce was living. I've tried to get to the comments as moderator to report them but it doesn't show them. Each of them shows in my email and is junking it up. Looks like the site is pretty much running itself…

Uh-oh
Oh dear. I trust I am not the only person to open her email and discover TWENTY SIX What Next notices? All of them appearing to be some sort of drug scam posted under a thread that is over a year old (about Greg, no less!) Obviously, we are not being monitored? I am so disappointed.
