lorraine's Journey with Adenocarcinoma, Colorectal Cancer

Had to have 2 shots a day of Lovenox/blood thinners. Hurt like crazy. my whole abdomen was black & blue.

I had to have an ileostomy. I had lots of problems with this.

I had a lot of problems with my loop ileostomy.

Home Care nurses tried to help with my ileostomy. lots of problems. I ended up having to go to the Wound Center to get help.

Had to change whole treatment plan in the middle of rounds due to bad side effects.

Didn't know that I had 8 rounds of Chemo ahead of me. Was pretty floored by this news.

i had a lot more than mouth sores/nose also/had hand/foot syndrome/had nausea/had fatigue/had a lot of side effects.

Spot in Lung!

Had to have part of my right lower lung lobe removed. Had problems with the chest tube they put in. It was horribly painful.

In my right lower lung lobe AGAIN!

CT Scans have all been clear so far!

Ended up having a double lobectomy. Yep. Lost my right lower & middle lobes.
