I am blessed to have little or no side-effects of chemo

During 3rd week after 1st chemo treatment my hair significantly started to come out; at 75 yrs. my wife still calls me the “silver fox” despite the extreme thinning; however, I’m confident the hair will return and I can resume as my wife’s hunk; I was told to take Claritan to help eliminate or reduce side-effects—-IT WORKS! No more headaches…

Great Christmas

Was the day before Christmas

I’m the only one stirring

The stocking are stuffed
and so am I
with Christmas candy
and a big pizza pie.
With the second Christmas here
and no cancer in sight
That’s the best Christmas gift
that God had in his sight.
All the family is here
except my bro and wi…

Post hemicolectomy diet

I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon CA. In 2015. Had surgery and 6 months of chemo which ended last April. My digestion just hasn’t worked right since. I have constipation, diarrhea, and nausea at least 3 days a week. I’ve pretty much eliminated dairy and wonder where to go from here. Would love to hear from anyone else with this problem.
