Hi Vcsongradi!

Hope is a great word and I believe in the power of prayer and being positive! There is always hope. I hear no surgery and I think what if everything shrinks? I am sure at that time they could look into it. Have you gotten more than one opinion? I could not handle the FOLFOX when I was stage 3c, I was allergic to the oxaliplatin. So when it came back in an unexpected place, upping me to stage 4 after 8 months of freedom from chemo, they now have me on Folfiri. The side effects of the mouth sores are awful, but when I think of the time its buying me to be with my son it is worth everything! I think of Job in the bible and how much he endured and think…. At least its not that bad lol. I was told that I may have a similar timeframe… it was said that if my son, who is 17 and heading to college this fall, accelerates his courses and doesn’t take summers off that I might see him graduate. So that is 2-3 years…. For 4 year degree. I don’t accept that. I am determined to make it to his graduation! I am singing and cracking jokes… anything to stay positive. I have a very aggressive colon cancer that was on the right side which is considerably worse than the left. I have spoken to 2 people, one female one male, who have had this and the male is now 75 and has made it 25 years. The female is my age (48) and is 3 years in remission. We can do this!!!!!! We can be that percentage that does it! Keep your chin up, you are strong! I will pray for you and your hope! ❤️
