Welcome! Please Introduce Yourself.

Hi all, i was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer on my 60th birthday, the gift i wish i could return. I had surgery a week later to remove it and some lymph nodes. 2 lymph nodes were showing cancer cells so we started chemo to hopefully kill anything left in there. I had so many side effects to the chemo that they had to stop the one at 5 sessions instead of 12 due to severe neuropathy and blood clots from groin to ankle in my right leg and in my lung. The other chemo we managed to get to session 11 out of 12 before we had to stop it due to flashing lights in my right eye and headache and nausea for a month. I had to have a 2 inch biopsy of the artery in my temple to test for giant cell arteritis. Thankfully i did not have that and it was from the medication they had me on for the neuropathy. My last blood test was negative. So far so good. Not back to work yet because when we stopped the neuropathy medication my entire foot went numb and i was falling. I started a 3rd medication for it and did physical therapy and i can move my foot again and its stronger. Yay!!!! The neuropathy also gave me hand tremors so sometimes i cant write my own name or do anything that takes precision. Started on a medication for that and vomited and broke out in a rash. If only my body would cooperate. Any way thank you for having me here.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the age of 66 in 2012, I am now a cancer survivor thanks to having my yearly PSA testing done. It was the test that showed that my PSA had increased dramatically in one year. The test helped me to prevent my cancer from spreading to other parts of my body. My oncologist had me do a series of other tests to determine that my cancer was only in my prostate. It was only in my prostate and a Gleason score of 7 was given. I had to have my prostate removed, which probably save my life. I been cancer free going on 14+ years!

Hi I was diagnosed last July with Metastatic stage 4 colon cancer that traveled to the liver and lungs!
My numbers have moved from over 500 down to 12.3

In October 2022, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. It was an extremely rough journey the first 6 months, as the Revlimid and Velcade gave me diarrhea so bad that I lost 60+ pounds and my weight got down to 93 pounds. It took about a year to get my weight up to 110 pounds. (as I stopped the Revlimid in July 2023 and started taking Darzalex FasPro. I was not a good candidate for the Stem Cell Transplant as I was over 70 years old and very frail. Thanking God that the Darzalex has been keeping me in remission for almost 3 years. I had my annual PET scan this past month, and there wasn't any sign of the Multiple Myeloma, although something showed up in my cervix area. I had a biopsy and ultrasound done, and found out yesterday that I have High-grade endometrial carcinoma. I was not prepared for this news. I'm hoping to seer the surgeon next week to schedule the surgery. I don't know what to expect, as I'm hoping to hear from other women who have had uterine cancer.
