Hi Golfgirl , I am stage IV colorectal cancer .I am now on folfox4 + cetuximap protocol. I would like to know about your latest treatment , and how is it working for you.

Hi GolfGirl...I am so sorry for the confusion...thank you also for following up with me even though you didn't realize it...all the posts you see out there for cganawah and cyesuislord1 are for ME...I signed up first under cganawah, then, I got confused and couldnt reember passwords and stuff and ended up signing up again under cyesuislord1. so its all ME..thank you, you are too sweet.

Thank you, GolfGirl. Your comments have given me strength

Hi Bonnie, just wanted to let you know I sent you an email with my phone numbers. I was worried it may have gone into your junk or spam folder. If you didn't get it, let me know and I'll send it again. All the Best, Sharon

Hi Bonnie, did you get my email? If I need to, I'll send it again.

Bonnie, I hope you always feel safe and protected on this sight. Your question, as far as I'm concerned, was out of genuine care and compassion for your friend. Please don't let a few uncaring remarks spoil the great intentions of Whatnext. Take care my friend. Always wishing you the best!

Golf Girl, I was surprised & sorry that you took my answer as being mean & un-supportive. It was meant to be informative.
I have a lot of experience with alcoholism, and cancer as well. To hear of someone drinking heavily while taking chemo is dynamite.
Total insanity. But, it doesn't really surprise me.
My husband and then later, my best friend, died from the poison called booze. Then I got cancer, not once, but 4 different times.
different types too, except for skin cancer which seems to come back constantly. Big deal!
Drinking heavily is a disease, it is a disease of denial, lying, and selfishness. It tears up the alcoholic, but does even worse harm to his family & friends. I won't go into what I went thru as it is finally over, but the problems caused by booze reach very deeply into all walks of one's life.
You need to contact an AA in your area, they can help you & help your friend as well, BUT ONLY if he/she will let them & admit there is a problem.
Good luck to all.

Hi GolfGirl,

I have mostly been away from WhatNext the last few days ... life is interfering with me playing on the site!!

I have learned that there are certain people on the site who will often have mean and sarcastic responses. It isn't just me or just you who have issues with the way the responses are phrased ... those certain people offend or hurt the feelings of many individuals who participate here.

I tend to just glance, if that, at many of the responses from a few people here. It is just easier on my psyche that way. Fortunately, the vast majority of the people here care deeply and really want to offer help or answers to the best of our abilities.

I am afraid that sometimes I might offend people with my response, not because I mean to by any stretch of the imagination, but because I word it wrong or answer hurriedly or my brain won't let me phrase it like i want to. I should probably not respond under those conditions, but sometimes i feel compelled to put my 2 cents in even when I shouldn't!

Anyway, this is meant as support ... and a hope that you will continue to feel safe and loved here.

Just say your post from a month+ ago re your broken tooth/loss of filling - I am beginning chemo on Tuesday - I have the same issue and have only a few days to find a dentist as I have no one now. This...all just blew up 4 weeks ago. Did you have, or do you know if you can have dental work during chemo? I'll be on 3 week round, so I'm thinking the 3rd week after infusion I'd be less susceptible to...whatever immunity wise? I'd love to relax a bit without trying to impossibly search for a dentist a the last minute - have 3 other appts this week already. Thanks! Pamela

So sorry for the news that you got. It stinks.

hi what is adjuvant therapy

HI .golf girl saw your post ,just quick hello and wish for good new year . keep hitting them straight . bob

okay, thank you. Everything I had read so far kept saying breast cancer, at times I feel like I'm losing my mind. Thank You for the info.

Hi GolfGirl, appreciate your concern and i will see my doctor in few days. Best wishes.

I have 3 days left of Chemo & Radiation and now I have developed a temperature of 100.4, I put a call into my chemo oncologist, waiting for a return call. NOW WHAT????????

Bonnie, how are things going? Is Steve's dad better now? I passed through Simi again on Sunday and thought of you.

Passed by Simi on Sunday thought of you. How are you feeling/ doing?

Hey GolfGirl, so happy to see you on the site. I haven't posted in quite some time. I'm on a chemo break until July 11th. Then I will get a ct scan to see if my lung nodules are growing. If so, then I will most likely start a stronger chemo. Just wish I could get back on maintenance chemo. It will be 4 years in July since I was diagnosed with mucinous adneocarcinoma of the rectum. Dealing with my colostomy sometimes really gets to me. But for the most part I handle it fairly well. Tonight is our local Relay For Life. It will be an emotional evening as I have lost several friends this past year. Take care and keep fighting!!

I hope you are doing ok, haven't heard from you in awhile. You are in my thoughts~Lisa

Bonnie, how you doing?

How are you feeling ? You still making trips out to palm springs it's getting hot out that way. Hoping for good news for you on the 20th . You along with others are still in my prayers.

Thank you for the information. I don't know which plan you signed up for and if you let me know I will look into it. I just want some doctors that will fight for me. Oh yeah, when I tried to sign up they said I had to go with affordable care plans in Orange County and it is not too many. My precious primary doctor will not even take it but I refuse to give her up. She had never given up on finding out what was wrong with me. She could only fight as much as the insurance would let her.

just a quick hello . into second week of recovery from liver resection . starting to get some strength . next weeks US OPEN . HOPE YOUR'E DOING WELL . BOB

just a quick hello . two weeks into liver resection recovery and improving . watching US OPEN?

GG,
I hope that today you arent feeling as tired as you were three days ago. I know how tough it is.... Our minds and our heart says let's do this or that today and our body reminds us we just don't have the energy we once had.
May I ask you a question, does Steve live with you? If so, is he ever sitting right next to you but does not try to engage you with conversation? Does he ever just sit there with his eyes closed? My husband is beginning to display this behavior. I know this is very hard for him and my kids heck for my entire family living with me or not. I don't hound him to talk with me I know he is trying to deal/cope with this in his own way. They don't give any of us a how to book on dealing with this and all that comes with it so it is hard for us / them. Have you gotten a break from cycle yet?
Still holding you in prayer.
~Lisa

Hope ur day is a good one today. Ive read ur posts and ur optimism is powerful. Keeping positive throughout is hard at times but so important.

I wish u the very best and will keep u in my prayers!

Hi GolfGirl! I just read through your posts and whew, you've had quite a ride over the past couple of years! I was really struck by your positive attitude and energy. Hope your chemo goes smoothly and you are having a great day. All the best!
