I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

Hello,
How are you today?
I thought I would open this discussion that we can talk about the various treatments for colorectal cancer!
As you know, treatment for colorectal cancer usually involves surgery, but may also be combined with radiation, chemotherapy or biological treatments, depending on the particular case and staging.
What has your colorectal cancer treatment been like? Have you had surgery? How did it go? Have you also undergone radiation therapy or chemotherapy? What were the results and side effects? How are you doing today?
