Rosemary - Hair I don’t mean to sound like I’m not glad I’m alive. I am very happy to be alive and I try to live each day to the fullest. But my hair keeps getting worse and worse and I look like a freak. I’ve lost a lot of hair where I have no sideburns and half bald around my ears. Guess I just wanted to vent. Guess I need to go Buy a wig. But I’m just having a hard time … more…

Patti - Intro Hi Guys,
My name is Patti and I'm new to this venue. DX'd with Stage 3A Anal cancer Sept 2018-finished chemo radiation 11/18. First pet scan showed partial response/residual disease. Docs said this is quite common. Any thoughts? The surgeon said he no longer feels the tumor but prepare myself for a colostomy just in case. WTF. I am a nurse case manager. I am only working 1-2 days a week. I feel lazy and broke but when I try to … more…

Larissa - Life is bigger than a moment in time....5/15/19 We all have them, a moment in time, a snapshot or memory that was so quick yet so huge it altered our life forever. Changed who we are, reshaped our thinking and catapulted us to a realm of life unimaginable just seconds before.
These moments can be crushingly sad or filled with a joy we never thought possible. A baby is born, a loved one passes away, an accident occurs, a doctor utters a less than happy diagnosis or the heart … more…

Wendy - Anal Exam Under Anesthesia Hi All: Just an update on my exam under anesthesia yesterday. It was like a Pap exam, only on my bum. I was at the hospital from 1:00 in the afternoon until 6:00 last night. Dr. Worden aid there weren't any fissures or hemorrhoids and she said..... MY TUMOR IS GONE! She said that the area is still really raw from the radiation and gave me some Botox injections to hopefully help with the spams and pain. The good news … more…

Wendy - Swollen Ankles I just talked with Carole, one of the gals on this site, and she suggested I write about a different incident I had last week 5/3/19 with swollen ankles. I usually have very prominent ankle bones, but all of a sudden I couldn't see them at all and I had Cancles! My first thought was that it probably had something to do with the radiation as I've never had this problem before.
I called my radiation oncologist office explained that my ankles & … more…
