Cois Posted September 25, 2019 Share Not sure if it was posted in this thread or elsewhere but I saw a video about 'eating to starve cancer' in which Avastin was mentioned. It seemed promising. Anyway, keep holding on and fighting Cois!Hope the 3 treatments helped a bit.Medical aid did want to pay for 4 treatments. So waiting for my Pecaset pills. My kidneys are protesting against something today. But might be the elevated blood pressure. Update, just got approved for another round of Avastin. So sitting with an IV in my arm Edited September 25, 2019 by Cois BigDL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cois Posted September 25, 2019 Share Might be some good news... My body is not responding as it should to the chemo treatment. I will be seeing a surgeon Friday afternoon at Kloof Hospital for removal of the tumor, removal of my spleen, and an attempt to remove the spot from my liver. If they can't remove the spot, they will microwave it. So I am feeling positive about the whole idea, seeing that cancer is putting up a fight and not letting go. One part of me is nervous as heck, but the other part of me is just get this curse out of me. HdB, Dexter-morgan, ChrisF and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V18 Posted September 25, 2019 Share All the best. Colon cancer is of the very few cancer types that resecting metastases can end up being curative. Holding thumbs. Cois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cois Posted September 27, 2019 Share Feeling very very down. Dr saw me for a few minutes (maybe 5). Did a quick examination, but had to attend to a patient that was bleeding in ICU. So he will give me a call after reviewing my file and reference letters. He did inform me that if the cancer spread to my Peritoneal “it might no be worth operating” So I am a bag of mixed emotions at the moment. Not sure what to think and do and holding back the tears at this moment is a mission.And the wait to early November is going to be a killer.

Chris_ Posted October 1, 2019 Share Look, we know 2 things... 1- if the doc has time to read over stuff and call you later (as opposed to immediately), you're good. 2 - he chose to run off and see someone else - so you're better off than the ICU person! Chin up man. Everything will work out. Steven Knoetze (sk27), Long Wheel Base, cat-i and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted October 1, 2019 Share Cois hoe gaan dit ? Friend's mom was hospitalized over the weekend. Diagnosed on Monday, advanced lung cancer ... beyond treatment. PS - absolutely brilliant service form the ER staff at Cape Gate Medi-Clinic !!! To the other patients that complained about "slow service" ... Half the ER staff spent more than 4 hours just to stabilize this old lady before she could be transported to Tygerberg. The one Dr's shift ended at 22:00, he did not leave until 1:00 the next morning, spending all his time with this lady. At 4:00 on Sunday morning it took us 10 minutes to book her in at Tygerberg, and she got proper ICU care immediately !!! Hats off to our medical staff in the public and private sector Andrew Steer, Chris_, cat-i and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
