Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Hi - My name is and my sister, , was diagnosed with Stage III (two lymph nodes, no obvious mets) colorectal cancer in June of this year. She is 46 years old and is probably the healthiest people I know, so it was quite a shock for us to learn that she has this disease. She had surgery to remove the tumor and some colon/rectum in July and she just completed her 4th chemo session (5-FU, Leucovorin, and Oxaliplatin every two weeks.) She has a few weeks off of chemo before she starts her 5 week radiation and 5-FU treatment. I was wondering what experience people have had during the radiation treatment. I know everyone experiences these things little differently, but I was hoping to get a handle on what to expect for her. This group offers such great support, and I'm thankful that you're here!
