About Me
My name is Sandy. I was diagnosed during emergency surgery on Feb 9th 2009. They removed 3 ft of my colon. So far everything has been working and for that I'm gratful. I have always been healthy and love the outdoors. I moved to Kimberling City, Mo 7 years ago to be in a little warmer climate and be closer to a beautiful lake. After surgery I made the decision to return to Ne. for treatment. Omaha has several wonderful cancer centers and I just felt that I could get better care here. It is also nice to be closer to my kids grandkidsand old friends. I do miss my condo at the lake and hope to return as much as possible inbetween treatments this summer.

Hi Sungal, I'm with you on this one --- it makes no sense it didn't show up in the scan, does it? This is probably just the final "clean-up" call necessary for complete remission. From what I've heard, a couple of surgeries is not that uncommon in curing this disease. You're in my prayers. Feel free to vent at me anytime.

Stage: IIIB (T3-4, N1, M0)Treatments
- 5-FU Working / Worked
- No many side effects when just taking 5-FU
- Chemotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- Leucovorin Working / Worked
- Not any side effects to speak of.
- Oxaliplatin Working / Worked
- Had 5 treatments and had to discontinue due to low Platelets. Off for 3n treaments. All is well with platelets so going to try Oxi for last four treatments at a lower dose.I know it's a bad drug for side effects but a good drug for killing cancer cells so willing to take the extra side effects if I can.
