My four-year Cancer Anniversary is on its way!!

Posted by deepikakarki @deepikakarki, May 16 10:01am

After four years, I can finally talk about my experience fighting this gruesome battle.
Look out for a weekly blog regarding my journey. Countless blood works, multiple catheters and cannulas, million drops of chemo. The scare I felt when the doctor handed me and my family the reports while I was just starting my medical journey as a first generational doctor of the family.
I hope my story helps someone struggling to decide what are the next steps ahead.

Reminder: It does get better 🙂

Hi I’m Scott, So I’ve had my chemotherapy treatments and surgery and more chemotherapy treatments. What can I expect with my eating. Will it get easier or will it be different for now on. Can’t eat as much as I used to. Also takes longer to digest for me.

I look forward to hearing your story. I've survived EC, kidney cancer, thyroid cancer, and I'm getting ready to start radiation for prostrate cancer. Did you have chemo and Radiation for EC and did you have to have a feeding tube like I did?
