appears to have a profound effect on outcome at least in colon cancer.

Not going to surprise anyone in here but I loved the quote “imagine if there were a clinical trial for a new drug that found it lowered the risk of developing recurrent or new cancers by 28% and lowered the risk of death by “37%”

    I agree with the premise completely. However, I can tell you first hand, there are times during treatment where it’s simply impossible to do.


    I’m coming out of a three month stretch where even the idea is untenable. I can do a two-mile walk right now and hope to build on it. Although the oncologist wants to plug me back in to the mustard gas, so we will see how it goes.

    I can imagine it is easier said than done. 2 miles is incredible. Sorry to hear you are going through this.

    I thought this thread would be about banging the nurse inside the Infusion center bathroom.

    I am pretty irritated that the attractive redhead that was handling my infusions this entire time so far has been replace by a short dude and a chick that looks like she made tik tok videos while on shift during covid.
