Re: 22 year old male with stage 4 colon cancer/Jeff

[Guest guest]

(((((((((Jeff))))))) first and foremost let me say YOU CAN BEAT THIS!!

You see , my husband was not much older than you ( 33yrsold ) when he

also was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer Sept O4 , they gave him

22months even with 6months of chemo. He had mets to the abdominal

wall , and lymph nodes.

He started chemo in January ( after surgery) he was on

Oxaplatin/Lecovorin/5fu/avastin/calcium magnesium(for the tingles)

He was VERY sick during the chemo with nausea, some folks arent , but

he was (even with the array of anti nausea meds)

BUT in June for his last treatment , we asked the doc, ok so how much

longer does he have to live, and the doc said , you know I think you

might just beat this thing!

At his last scan Oct 12th 2005 he was CLEAN , no evidence of cancer!!!

SOOOOOO whatever you do DONT GIVE UP THE FIGHT and keep your sense of

humor ( it helps sooooooooo much)

Also not sure if you are aware but if you have siblings they ALL need

to be checked also.

Hang in there , we are here for you if you need us
