ticklingcancer

Thank you.
I think I did some thing wrong. My husband was recently diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and I came here looking for some support.
I am a spouse but some times I care for him, did I come to the wrong place?
Thank you.

Hello ticklingcancer,
So very glad to see you're in remission...and I suspect it will be even better than that. I just wanted to tell you about my brother. He had testicular cancer when he was in his early 30's also. And for the last 25+ years he has been cancer free..Wishing you all the best on your journey.

Thanks for your response! I've read your story, and like you I have MUCH to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, having been in remission for almost a year. Funny how I seem to be reverting to my old "take everything for granted" self now that I'm in remission. Guess it is only human nature, but I plan to do some reflecting this Thanksgiving and remember how I felt going through chemotherapy--"when I get through this I will let everyone know how much I LOVE them!!

Well, yeah, homemade! But I don't like crust, so I don't make it--and I use a heaping T of "pumpkin pie spice" as a shortcut as well. But oh, it's the best VEGETABLE! Especially with whipped cream, LOL.

Hey TC--Whazzup? Haven't heard anything from you, lately. Tuesday marks my 1/2 way point thru the worst of my chemo...and it's coming none too soon! Have been eating lots of veggies lately (pumpkin pie is a veggie, right?), at least celebrating that I don't have that funny metallic taste in my mouth yet. New port worked wonders last week and am also thankful for that! Hope you're doing well!

Congrats on getting inspiration of the week you deserve it

The drug is Cabozantinib (XL184). The trial is Phase II so no placebo, I get the real drug. It has shown some very good results on tumors of the bone (just what I have). You can Google it and see. Definitely, early stage and quite a way from approval. That's why I'm hoping for the home run.

Keep it positive and smile

So...did you end up scaring the poop out of your daughter and her friends this weekend?

I feel like the biggest fool here!!! Guess I should have read your great comments before messaging you! ......but I really thought that was your hair. What are your plans for Halloween chemo look?
