Hey! I have colon cancer too! I had to have a huge chunk of my large intestine removed because it ruptured. I also went septic and almost died.

What kind of chemo are you doing? I've had FOLFOX and FOLFIRI, and I'm currently on LONSURF. FOLFOX was the worst. If I ate or drank anything below room temperature, it felt like I was swallowing broken glass. FOLFIRI gave me horrendous pustules around my nose and mouth. They'd break on their own and bleed. My pillowcase is stained with the blood from when they broke in my sleep.

First off, how dare you? Second, how dare you?

What kind of cancer?

I'm 40 and have stage IV colon cancer. I'm on my last line of treatment. I'm going to rechallenge an old treatment, but it won't last as long as it did the first time, nor will it be as successful as my cancer has most likely mutated to be more resilient. I doubt I'll see the fall.

I just have a wife, a dog, and a lump cat, so my passing won't be as devastating as yours. But at least we will be taking this journey together, even if it is just in spirit.

Your heart's in the right places...

Do you ever do fucked up, bitter shit just so someone will say, "Dude, have a heart!" ?
