Hello gailarlean. Sorry to hear that you were recently diagnosed with colon cancer. I am a C survivor, 6 years now. I was diagnosed in my late 40's with St IV colon cancer. Surgery and chemo with FOLFOX and here I am still going strong. I'll be cheering you on and remember, keep your mitts handy near the fridge when reaching for your bottles of water or juice.

hi gailarlean, i was diagnosed december 14 with hcc and then they just found another mass on my left adrenal....i am a 40 yo man. i would like to talk with you about your treatment, surgery...is that ok ?

Hi Gailarlean, my father was recently diagnosed with stageIV with mets to liver and possibly the spleen. I was told that they typically wont attempt a resect on someone if its gone beyond the liver. We are getting him in the Sloan Kettering IN NYC which I'm hoping that will open some doors for us. Im glad to hear that your having success. Good Bless!

Welcome! Sorry to hear you have to go through this? I see that you are experiencing all the standard reactions to the chemo I am sorry about that too. It will be over and you will get better.
