5min_late

I don't see any recent posts or updates, just wondering how you are doing?

I noticed u did the treatment that I'm gonna have to start on the 15th, I'm so scared.....

How funny you have your surgery 10 days before me for reversal! We'll have to keep each other poster on how it's going.
Are you done with treatment now? I'm in remission for the moment and hoping it sticks!

5min_late, How have you been doing? Where are you at in your treatment? Thoughts and prayers are with you.

5min_late...you can do this! It's not easy, think about what that damn chemo is doing to your body, but keep your eye on the prize, a lifetime with your family and friends! Glad to hear that your oncologist was able to tweak your meds so that you're feeling better. Keep a journal of all of your side effects and discuss them in detail with your oncologist and nurses. You may also find a pattern so you can prepare for them.

There are a lot of wonderful colon cancer survivors on WhatNext who are here to help and encourage patients, so keep us in the loop and don't be afraid to ask us.

5min-late, is there a way we can communicate privately? I can give you the info we have on our Medicare carrier. We can't afford supplemental. They are saying they are not allowed, by Medicare, itself, to negotiate balances. They also don't want to audit the bills and none of the bills we received were itemized.

I have stage IV colon cancer..... ~Never Lose Hope~

There are also subtypes listed on this page to narrow down the type of cancer to match your dx.

Also, if you can take a few minutes and fill in some details of your journey so far, it will help others as they try to answer questions for you, it also helps others as they search through the data base to find someone like themselves.
