Is hearing that you are receiving treatment a reason to be positive?
Hi everyone, well I am really struggling with this emotional rollercoaster. Yesterday my consultant confirmed my cancer looks stage 3 and that I will have treatment. I have to have a biopsy first to see what treatment it will be. She talked about possible outcomes of surgery, like a stoma and removal

Is Avastin actually worth the terrible side effects?
I’m on 4 of 6 first line chemo for stage 3b/4a HG OC. My doc offered me the option of starting Avastin before the last one & I did (15 months). Since then I’ve had terrible bowel probs (I had a stoma reversal before my 3rd chemo) & really awful aches in legs, bum & feet. I can’t clear bowels properly

Disappointing Consultation
Just had consult after 6 cycles carbo/caelyx (this is second line) not much shrinkage. CA number was 40 before 5th chemo and has gone up to 57! I made the mistake of asking to see my CT scan, never seen one before and I was horrified at the size of the tumours, knew the measurements but not actually

Restarted C25K after cancer
Hi, just relaying my experiences so you don't give up. I've just ran W4R2 after restarting Couch to 5K on New Years Day. That's 2 years to the day since I graduated C25K but things went a bit wrong after that. Graduated 1/1/19 but started getting slower and tired all the time. Finally found out I had

Black stools following Chemo
I've just completed 4 cycles of Chemo therapy after removing a tumour from my Colon. Ihave a stoma bag and my output is black / dark brown. I've had two OGD's to check out the bleeding in my stomach but they found nothing except gastritis. Has anyone had any similar experiences. Thank you. Michael
