Thank you Marion.
christina1SpectatorHi Everyone,
We are having a hard time getting in contact with a Dr. at MD Anderson to have a phone consultation. Chuck already has a patient number there and can provide by fax to them his recent scans and information of the new status of his CC.
Hi old Dr. was a Dr. Thomas that is now somewhere else on research. Do any of you have a recommendation for getting quickly in contact with the Dr.’s there and how to best get a return phone call from MD Anderson?
Does anyone know who replaced Dr. Thomas there?
Thanks so much,
Christina
christina1SpectatorI read in my fitness magazine some cancer fighting foods are shitake mushrooms, red chiles, broccoli, and garlic. Can’t hurt to eat them right. You never know.
christina1Spectatorthank you Margaret!
christina1SpectatorI did post a question on Chuck1’s introduction this evening. I know it is probably a basic question but just trying to see if surgery resection of colon is the right move!
And I haven’t been able to be clear on if CC is always vascular or not.
Thanks,
Christina
christina1SpectatorI apologize I figured out how to search this site. Okay, so I understand that Xeloda and Gemcitabine are chemo medications.
So my question is this, is CC always vascular?
And if not, then when it is in fact vascular, can these chemo medications help that?
I am just wondering if it could help Chuck as either a choice to forgo having resection on his colon, or if it is something that would be recommended after resection at a certain point?
Thanks,
Chrisitina
christina1SpectatorThank you all for your replies. I noted a survivor treated in 2006 and wrote in 2008 that it was by means of 7 grueling months of Xeloda and Gemcitibine. Are those like chemo meds?
Sorry I am new at this.
Thanks,
Christina
