Grover,
This is such wonderful news!!! I wish you the best with the resection!! I know there are so many on this board who are hopeful for resection. Maybe it would be helpful to share what chemo cocktail you were on in this thread so others have it for a reference?
Thank you so much for sharing the wonderful news!! I will be praying for a successful resection and smooth recovery. Please keep us posted!Take care,
Susie
Kris,
I’m sorry you’re stuck in the middle of this. Lack of communication between Dr’s is a pet peeve of mine, for sure. Best of luck. I’m happy your bloodwork was good!
Best wishes,
Susie
I can agree there are definitely up and down days and constant second guessing about decisions you made and every symptom you ever had. I’m sorry you had such a bad day but you mustn’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault you got this disease. It’s good to vent every now and again. Take care of yourself and talk to your Dr about it if it doesn’t improve.
Best wishes!
Susie
Derin,
I’m so happy you are doing so well!
I don’t mean to sound like your mother here, but be careful getting sores on your hands. As I’m sure you’ve been told, chemo can make your white count go low, so you could get an infection and it can make your platelets go low which can decrease your clotting ability. I’m no expert but I would think low platelets + chainsaw = something bad.
You are a trooper.Best wishes!
SusieGrover,
That is funny! I also did the “cleanse” right before I got diagnosed. Apparently my body was dependent on all the “bad” things that are not permitted in the cleanse.
I’ve also gone out for hot wings after chemo.
I’ve drank green tea intermittently throughout my adult life and it didn’t appear to ward off any cancer. My oncologist recommends avoiding high doses of antioxidants while you’re getting active treatment. Her reasoning is they are trying to kill cells and I would be trying to protect them with antioxidants. I don’t think a cup a day would make much of a difference. It may just be worth mentioning to your Dr.
I stopped drinking soda about 7 years ago. I used to really like Coke. I’m wondering if I should start drinking it again. After all, if it can remove rust from a car maybe it can remove some cancer? Lol.
Take care!

Jessica,
I’m sorry to hear about your situation, but you have come to the right place for support. I agree with others that you should try to get a second opinion. Try to see if surgery is an option. If it’s not, it seems pretty standard that patients get put on some type of chemo. Given his age, he may handle treatment well. You never know until you try.
I’m sorry you had such a horrible experience.
This is a difficult diagnosis to deal with and I can understand why your husband is feeling the way he is. Just try to be supportive. I think if you see another Dr and they come up with a treatment plan, your husband may feel a little better. Always remember, there is hope.
I am 32 and I wish I could say I am the youngest member here, but I’m not, we do have others your husband’s age and younger. My oncologist said this disease is rising in young people and they don’t know why.
I wish you the best of luck. Please keep us posted.Betsy, that is a great story!
Susie
