pre-op advice please
I have just been diagnosed with bowel cancel. Small tumour and they don’t believe it has spread. In 4 weeks I will have an operation to remove the tumour and part of the bowel. I would appreciate advice on how to prepare for the operation. What food to eat / avoid. For those that have been through this

Hand surgery went well
The scheduler phoned me Monday to offer me an earlier procedure on Tuesday and I jumped at the chance to be the first patient of the day for the hand surgeon! When he's not running late, and is likely at his best. But that meant we had to get up at 4 am! Itold every body that I probably didn't need

Diclofenac for neuropathy/HFS caused by Xeloda
hello everyone I suffer from hand and foot syndrome and neuropathy so I have been looking for ways to ease the pain. I have been on Doxil (IV chemo every 4 weeks, Doxorubicin) since June 2023 and the pain has been hard physically and emotionally. Yesterday my oncologist’s nurse practitioner mentioned

Anyone have hypercalcemia?
Hi, All! I've been doing pretty well since my diagnosis and b12 injections for 5 months or so. I still had some lingering symptoms that I felt were not related to pernicious anemia. Anyway, the other day I ended up in the ER with kidney stones and hyponephrosis (urine backing up into kidney, swollen

Update – surgery tomorrow, then on to Xeloda
Hello all – hope that the new year is finding you all on a good journey to healing and wellness. I unfortunately have been in and out of the hospital for 21 days with seven new MRIs as they are trying to discover the root cause of my back pain and inability to walk. In addition to the extensive bone

Chatbots Not Always Reliable for Cancer Treatment Advice - MedPage Today, August 24, 2023.
Seems AI for cancer info and advice might not yet be ready for prime time. For the immediate future, I'd trust something like Cancer Hacker Lab long before a Chatbot for info and guidance on treatment, esp. if it was other than SOC. * * * [i]

bumped up moms scans
So I had shared that her markers had went up last week. When she had the progression in July she also had a plural effusion. Which she’s had drained only twice in 6 months. But her ribs have started being sore. So she goes into tomorrow for ultra sound to see if the fluid has built back up. So her

radiation treatments led to perforated colon?
St. Patrick’s Day I collapsed in pain and was rushed to ER. A CT ABD PE revealed a perforated colon near my rectum, broad internal infection (sepsis) with kidneys and liver shutting down. A life flight, three surgeries later, 3 weeks sedated and immobile in an ICU, and seven weeks in hospital rehabs

Verzenio Monotherapy
I'm wondering if anyone on here is on Verzenio monotherapy. That is just Verzenio,not in combo with anything. I take 200mg twice daily. I began this just over a month ago and wondering if anyone has been on this protocol and seen it help. To give a background. I was diagnosed first 27 years ago. Stage

Blood in Urine
Hi fellow fighters Had blood in my urine the last 10 days. Hoped it was a UTI but a course of antibiotics has failed. I had a bladder neck incision last June to help urinary flow. The urologist saw a suspicious patch and a biopsy confirmed it my prostate cancer has spread to my bladder. I’m hoping
