Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 HI - I am 36 years old, married, two children 4 and 7. I was dx with stage III colon cancer back in April. I had surgery to remove the tennis ball sized cancer, 22 lymph nodes (one being cancers) and cancer was found in the fatty tissue around my colon. I started chemotherapy in May (5FU/CPT11/Luec). I will have chemo for a total of 6 months, ending in October. I have been doing okay, all side effects for 3 days after chemo are treated wtih compazine/zofran/ambien/imodium. My red and white counts are low but I am getting shots for those. I was in shock about all this and still think I am in denial. Is anyone else going through similar treatment? Just feel like I need another place to vent with people going through similar stuff - thanks, another Donna J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
