Randi,
I’m so happy to hear that you are a CC survivor of 3 years ad 3 months! Congratulations!!!! If you don’t mind my asking, would be able to share your experience? how did you find out? what stage were you? which area/organs were affected? what type of treatments did you receive? did you have a resection surgery? how many doctors did you seek? etc.. so many questions in my head. I DO understand that every case is different… I just want to know some sucessful cases…Thank you so much for responding to my post. I really appreciate it.

Pamela,
I’m very sorry to hear about your daughter. It must be so hard… as a mom, I can understand what you are going through. I think having a loved one being sick and watching them suffer is incredibly difficult and sometimes you feel so helpless… I hope your daughter’s surgery goes well and wishing her the best outcome. Thank you so much for your support and kindness. I will not give up hope!Jeeyoung
Thank you Gavin for your post. I really appreciate for your response.
More and more I read about it, the common tread of discussions were the importance of choosing facilities and physicians with specific experience in treating patients with CC…
Thank you for including the links to nutritional info. We are fully on board with nutrition. I bought a copy of “Beating Cancer with Nutrition” by Patrick Quillin for myself and my mom. It just makes complete sense to us to fortify our body with good nutrition. I also am a believer that food is medicine.
I’m thankful that I have this support group to go to when I need words of encouragement, knowledge and information.
Thank you again, Gavin. I don’t know the exact reason how you became a member. I’m sorry to that you got here…. too.
Lainy, that is exactly what I think too. Thank you for reaffirming my belief. This is one of the frustrating part that I’m not there and helping her these important decision with her. I’m going to do my very best to convince her this weekend for a second opinion. But I think you and I could understand her sense of urgency and desperation to be treated…
Thank you again.
Lainy,
Thank you so much for your quick response. My mom lives in San Diego area so I’ve been travelling back and fourth past month or so.. She is being treated at Sharp Memorial in her area although I feel that UCSD cancer center might be a better choice… but ultimately it is her decision. She does feel comfortable with her ONC who has a good reputation but not necessarily a specialist on CC. As for your suggestions on nutrition, I will share that with her. I’m heading out to San Diego this weekend so I can start her on that too. Do you know if there is something she can take to increase her appetite during her chemo treatments? We may need to ask her ONC.Thank you so much for your kindness. It is really nice to know that you are in town… I may want to meet up with you to talk at some point.
