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.
Well finally my test came back and I don't have that funny enzyme problem that causes the 5-FU to stay in my body for longer than it should, which is a very toxic situation causing death. Yikes !!! Dr. had lowered my 5-FU dosage to 50 % until we got these results back. Now she wants to raise it back up to 66% for this next chemo (tue,wed,thur) then maybe back up to 75%. and go back on the Neupogen (for my low counts) We still don't know whats "wrong" with me, maybe it's just my weird body. Anyway I'm kinda scared about all of this, why am I almost always sick and tired. Oh well, it's all in God's hands. Thanks for listening. Hope you all are doing ok on your cancer journey.

I have a bulge on my right side that the Dr is trying to figure out what is cuasing it. They did a cat scan and a Xray still no real dx just a few maybe this or that.I call it my baby butt buldge! :) Gotta keep your sense of humor!!! I have # 11 next wed was not feeling good for 5 days after #10 seems like it's taking me longer to recover. Oh well hopefully it will be done for both of us soon!!! Keeping you in prayers!!
