    Hi Kris, I'm 52 also in active treatment for stage 4 rectal cancer. I was diagnosed July 22, 2010. The cancer spread to my lungs in 2011. I have a permanent colostomy and for the most part I'm doing rather well. I was getting mentally and physically exhausted from treatment, so I'm just coming off of a six week break. I will resume treatment tomorrow. I wanted to know if they are treating you every 2 weeks and what drugs you're on? I hope you are feeling well enough between treatment to enjoy life. Hang in there and hope to hear from you soon. God Bless

    Hello and welcome, we are glad you found us. Please feel free to join in the conversations. Here is a link to our cancer dx page for your type of cancer. Take a look at it to get you started on some information. You will notice at the bottom of that page 4 of our active users who have had that journey already, you may wish to contact them for their experience and wisdom. Also, I encourage you to go to the questions page now by clicking on the questions tab at the top of the page and post what is the most pressing issue you have right now. This will introduce you to the community and get you started on the help you need right now.

    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. Confirming your email will allow you to receive updates and notices from the site when someone answers your questions or writes on your wall.

    Hello and welcome to the team. Probably not one you wanted to join but it is a great one if looking for support, opinions, a place to rant and so on. I am a St IV Colon Cancer survivor of 7 years. A couple of surgeries, Folfox, no radiation, lots and lots of walking and water and here I am. Sending good thoughts to you. I'll be rooting for you. Cheers.
