Stay strong. This is one of the hardest things a person goes through. Just pray and get out as much as you can. Being with family and friends can help. Also talking to a therapist or support group will also help. May god bless you in this journey. Talking to someone that has been through it can help. STAY STRONG AND FIGHT AS LONG AS YOU CAN. I will pray for you in this time and may god wrap his arms around you.

Stay strong. Find a support team. I have stage four and had an operation. I have to go back on chemo. I have not given up. Talk to doctors about pain management. Try to keep your eyes on the prize. Think of the future and also things you have

Same here it sucks and I’m so tired of constipation 🤢😢

Hi Leah, I too was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer and had a tumor that was removed and currently going to therapy and have a colostomy I have one more round of chemotherapy before I get scanned again to see if I’m good to get reconnected but I just wanted to let you know you’re not alone

I understand I truly do and now I am going back through chemotherapy it makes me angry, saddens me, and sometime like it's me against the world...but trying to keep my thoughts set to positive and beating this sickness, horrible thing and you will also ... 🙏 Prayers are with you
