    Loved your honest story!!!why are people so hesitant to talk about how painful cancer is and how sick the treatments can make you. I want the truth...and I think its cruel to make cancer look fun and easy on social media while people are really horribly suffering physically and mentally...but everything these days is meant to get likes and views I guess

    In aug 2023 I found out that I had stage 4 stomach cancer that had also spread to 3 Celiac lymph nodes, I was MSI=high and Mutational burden=high, in oct 2023 I started nivolumab/opdivo and ipilimumab/yervoy as first line and my only treatment. In june 10, 2024 I had a CT scan and the tumors are no longer visible and no signs of cancer spreading to any other part of the body. I did have an adverse reaction to treatment and now have Adrenal insufficiency and Hypothyroidism for which I have to take medication every day. I will continue Opdivo for at least 2 years and have CT scans every 6 months.

      Yeah cancer is caused by low iodine. In 1924 the FDA recommended daily amount was 500 micrograms today it's just 150 micrograms. You can Google molecular iodine kills cancer all cancer. And from talking to so many people all iodine when strong enough kills cancer. I used pvp and tincture making a 10% absorbable solution I applied to my skin others used lugols

    I was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer in January 2024. I started chemotherapy on March 3rd and had two infusions on Folfox three weeks apart. My numbers CEA and CA began to drop. My oncologist decided to start immunotherapy on April 1st with Keytruda and I've been having infusions every three weeks. My tumor markers dropped even more, down from 13.58 at the beginning of my chemo, lowered to 6.0 in mid June. Suddenly, both numbers began to rise, my CEA rose to 9.75 and my CA which was down to 25.5 rose to 31.2. During my sixth infusion in July my CA started to drop once again to 21.7. I'm hearing from other cancer survivors that when cancer cells die, unfortunately they don't always have a way to dispose themselves from your body so they just gather someplace within your body and that could be the reason why they rose. Don't know for sure, but I'll stay on the Immunotherapy until the tumor is gone.

    It makes me mad the empty offers of "help" from people! People should never ask if you need help, or the good ol' "let me know if you need anything" garbage!
    DONT ASK, JUST HELP.
    In Sophie's case, bring vegetarian meals over for her. Come over and tell her you need her shopping list, then go and shop for her, organise looking after her kids, picking up and dropping them off, come over do some housework.
    I cant stand empty offers of help. Dont ask, just do it.
    Sophie, you're so brave and beautiful and I'm glad you appear to be beating the odds. You're a lovely person!

      You are usually offered a colonoscopy in the UK when you have blood in your stools or a test shows it,but you can get left behind if you have other symptoms as they can be IBS,that so many people have.I think it's a good idea to ask for an inflammation test on your stool,to show it isn't IBS,and advocate.Having said that,my first GP wasn't going to do anything when I had blood in my sick and stools,and just gave me anti acid meds,I spoke to her several times,and she did nothing,it was telling another GP,that finally sent me for a colonoscopy!

      Adriamycin is the “red devil.” It’s used for breast cancer (and other cancers, perhaps). I had it combined with Cytoxan when I had triple-positive breast cancer twenty-five years ago (been okay so far). I may have had a reduced amount of those chemos, as my infusions lasted only about an hour each - I had four in total, three weeks apart - but I’ve heard from others that their infusions of that combo lasted several hours each infusion. I was able to work and socialize even while on chemo, though I always felt queasy, had a metallic taste in my mouth, etc. It was doable.

    I'm one of those people that offer "empty offers" from my heart. I'll people don't always want intrusion into their space. Cancer puts are prone not to want to eat what you make them. Sugar items are out of the question. Sugar feeds cancer.
    It's comforting to let the patient/friend know they are in your thoughts.
    There's two sides to every pancake. Not everyone looks at things the same way as you do.
