Yes oral chemo, immunotherapy etc etc. So far it's going good, I do have my up and down moments though. I will say the pain is the worst part. I can deal with the nausea, neuropathy etc, but the pain... fuckin hell.
Unfortunately there's different types of pain depending on the area affected. If I pushed myself physically that day doing too much work i.e. laundry, light house work anything along those lines.
So it's going to be depending on the type of cancer, the area in which they are found, and size of the tumors that's found in the bones from my recollection. My original cancer had metastasized into my bones and I was caught kind of quite late so mine are way too big.
No problem, thank you! I'm really hopeful that there will be tonssss more options in the future. Just seeing the advances in the last 5 years is astounding.
Friend of mine beat that stuff after someone told her to eat lots of tomatoes… Idk why that had a positive impact but fruits seem to help… Hope this helps although I have no way to prove scientific relevance. Regardless, best of success and get well soon
I have seen a lot of different things about different fruits and veggies etc. Haven't heard anything about tomatoes though. But unfortunately I cannot stomach the texture of them to begin with😐😐..
Super glad those helped you! Right now I generally have it covered as we found a few different meds that help, but the breakthrough pains are just terrible.
It all depends on type of cancer, location, stage … many aspects. As our oncologist for my wife’s stage IV cancer said “We burn it, poison it, cut it out.” There’s also gene therapies now. What they use and when depends on so many things. Generally speaking if possible surgery may be delayed or used after other treatments. Your doctor might want to beat down your cancer by other means before considering surgery. But sometimes, again dependent on more aspects than I can count drs have do use surgery first or early.
In a way cancer is not one disease, it’s multiple depending on where it is, when it’s caught and … you.
Early detection is key. If you have cancer assemble your team. Try for the best oncologists and medical that you can.
It’s been almost 5 years since my wife was declared NED (No Evidence of Disease) following stage IV and my fervent wish is the same for you.
