Hi, Sue. You posted exactly right and in the right place to connect with other members living with metastatic colon cancer like @margreet @wifemom3 @lisag03 @fiona007. I'm adding their usernames to my message to make sure they see your post and join me in saying "Welcome".
I bet it was disappointing to have to pause chemo for 6 weeks while you waited for your white blood cell count to recover. I'm glad you're back on track for the time being and getting Neulasta to help encourage the white blood cell production. How did your chemo treatment go last week?

I wish you strength and don’t give up. I have been through that and am now in my fourth year in remission. My best wishes to you.
Margreet.

Thanks Colleen. I had a much worse reaction with the Avastin added. I had been tolerating the Folfox pretty well. But with the Avastin added, I kind of felt like I had the Flu for a couple of days and the headache stayed with me for a week. So much worse than what I was used to. I also had low back trouble and don't know if it was related to the Neulasta (Dr's nurse thought probably not). It could easily have just been my back acting up but...I get blood work today to see if the Neulasta worked and hopefully get another chemo treatment tomorrow. Thanks for asking.
