HI MARY AND SUSAN

[Guest guest]

's problem sounds like mine did. I had stage III and 2 nodes

affected with cancer. was rector cancer, I had radiation and chemo

for 5 months, to shrink it so he could operate and put it back

together. I had 4 months. of it and quite it. was 3 times a week.

ended up in hospital for 11 days, with a small bowel bockage, had a

port and got a bacterial infectin in that, so had it taken out.

thought it was from the radiation, but when he operated said it was 3

bands of adheasions? from other sergurys i had had. it was shrunk

enought for him to operate on. then said the 2 nodes were cancer so

wanted me to take more chemo and radiation. i took the chemo, but

refused the radiation the second time. 12 weeks two times a week

for a total of 24 times. I quite it also the last 3 weeks, just

couldn't take any more. but have had a ct scan, blood work and

another colonospy? and no sign of any cancer.

Just hoping it will continue that way. I will have the colomosty

taken down on Oct. 31. looking forward to that. ( long as i don't

get the runs like Kermia has. lol)

Hard to tell how it will affect , as they say, every one is

different.

Tell her to hang in there. have faith. and lots of prayers going up

for her.

Hi

Congratulations on your upcoming take-down! You sure have been

through a lot (like many people in this group) and you are all very

brave! I'm glad to hear that there are no more signs of cancer for

you.
