My husband(53) has stage 4 colon cancer, In Apr. 2007 he just got sick, stomach cramps & throwing up. He did his chemo every 2 weeks had surgery to take out the tumor, evrything went well, They said he was cancer free!! Well this April 2009 same thing we go back to the Dr. he has cancer again and it had spread to his pankeris, small intestnce,They did surgey again and said they couldnt get it all and it was not cureable.He started chemo again and has been doing it when his white blood count is up, he has been so sick, and something in the Chemo is what is making him not beable to have anything cold. They did a PET scan last week and his tumor has shrunk so much his Dr couldnt even believe it, We go back to his Surgon Monday they are thinking he is able to have the Whipple surgery now. I hope and pray, and thats what you need to do just keep praying for the best. I hope this helps you some,I wish you & your family all the Best. Nita Johnston

GOOD LUCK TO THE CANCER SURVIVORS. I HAD COLON CANCER WITH 13 INCHES ALONG WITH MY APPENDIX AND GALL BLADDER IN ‘98 WITH GOOD SCOPES AND BLOOD TESTS SINCE.
BUT LAST YEAR STOMACH CANCER WAS FOUND AND BOTTOM REMOVED. SO I DON’T HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT IS FACING ME.

The reason your brother can not stand anything to cold is due to the metals in the chemo treatment. Stop feeding your brother anything with sugar; CANCER LOVES SUGAR! My husband had colon cancer and I learned many things the hard way. I hope you don’t mine that I will be praying for your brother and the family.Also beware of your brother’s personality changes, the doctors won’t tell you but he will get chemo brain.

L.C.
My husband had colon cancer stage 3 with a large malignant tumor (surgically removed)and it had also spread to the lymp system … Initially at 2 different emergency rooms he was told he had a hernia! You have to be very proactive about your own healthcare and this was a perfect example of why you should be! I pushed through and contacted a local surgeon, described his symptons over the phone and they had him in a local hospital for cat scans, etc with lightening speed. We then went on to MD ANDERSON CANCER CNETER in Houston, Texas. They were great and even arranged for him to do chemotheraphy for 6 months close to our home in Mississippi. He has completed that and we go back to MD ANDERSON every 3 months. It appears that 2 spots are now showing up in his lungs … and a small irregularity in his liver. This is not uncommon. many patients end up doing chemo more than once. I was a little discouraged at the news, but we are moving ahead with life with as a positive attitude. The best thing that you can do for him is makes jokes. Yep, I said jokes…. like call him “chemo man, cancer man, etc” … this is the one time that people around him need to have a positive attitude so he doesn’t freak out, which is even worse for his recovery.
As for why he cannot eat or drink anything cold, is a side affect of the chemo drugs. They cannot tolerate air conditioning, taking things out of the refrigerator/freezer without a glove … There are many other do’s and don’ts for chemo patients. Go online and look up colon cancer and get in a support group for care takers. Check out MD ANDERSON’s site for all kinds of informations. Then pray and let God direct you! If you need to talk, email me and I will be glad to help in any way that I can.

Once Again, the Medical and Pharmaceutical Industry is lying to the masses,… Powerful Drugs and radiation causes cancer and weakens the Immune system,… Cancer is a Fungus, treat it as such.

my brother-in-law who is 57 has just been diagnosed with colon cancer stage 4 he had no systoms until one day he went to get a ladder out of the back of the truck and started feeling faint.but to find out later his hand had been shaking some like when he went for a glass of water or something,which makes the doctors believe it is in his brain, the family asked not to tell him if they were no other treatment they would be doing and the doctor told them no he would still be doing chemo, so the family said not to tell him so he would have some hope he can beat this
My sister rushed him to the er.after a week of testing,they found the source of the cancer it was a polyp they did a test that showed hot spots on his hip, his skull,and i cannot remember where the other one was,but they wanted to find the source, and they found this polyp they then knew where to start treatment,they did 48 hr of chemo and he went home today and he is to have treatment every 2 weeks they have said it is stage four cancer, please can you tell us where or what can be done to stop this and put it in remission or get rid of it all.And another thing why is it he cannot eat or drink anything cold everything has to be hot,maybe someone knows the answers to these questions. thank you
