Colon Cancer Support Group
Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer or bowel cancer, includes cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and appendix. Many colorectal cancers are thought to arise from mushroom-like growths that are usually benign, but some may develop into cancer over time. The majority of the time, the diagnosis of localized colon cancer is through colonoscopy.
Hi all, I've been at a motel for several days cause my kitchen is being torn up, mold under my floor. Yikes !!!!
So I went in on Sunday for blood test and then went in on Monday for chemo. Well not for me cause my wbc is too low AGAIN, (this is driving me crazy) So they pushed me back to next Monday, Tue, Wed. I also had some intestinal bug, more diarrhea and nausea than usual. Went to Dr, she thinks that my viral infection plus the fact that my enzyme numbers are usually off (blood work test) brought my wbc down again. She said this shouldn't be happening and she said again that I should not always be sick, which I am , every day I am sick and weak. So they did a test to check my enzymes (Dihydropyrimidine dehydregenase) If the test comes back abnormal, not sure what they do about that. But I sure would like to get fixed. Would like my wbc to always be up and my constant sickness to go away. I have been sick ever since my operation in mid January and it's now mid July, 7 months. And it looks like this might go on for several more months, i'm only half way done. They put me back on Neupogen shots, every other day, my hubby gives them to me in the tummy, doesn't hurt but the side effects are nausea and fatigue, my constant companions. I guess I'm venting, sorry. Really down today,even though I'm back at my house now, good to be in my own bed. Sorry but I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I keep praying that God will heal me (of every thing that is wrong with me) I ask for your prayers also. Thanks, gg

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency (DPD deficiency?
I'm so glad you are almost done and that you haven't had too much yuck, your body takes the chemo better than mine. Hang in there, the Lord will get you through it.
