Hi well this feels weird talking about myself feels s bit like a dating app .hi im 6.3ft and s millionaire oh wait no im fat short and poor.

It's more of a fishing expedition on treatment from anyone who's also long term type 1 diabetic. Treatment folfox and vectibix being offered in 2 weeks ive had large section of bowel removed and left with everyone's favourite accessory a stoma bag.

also a month before that had cardio vascular leg bypass surgery. I had the doctors worse case scenario conversation which is inspiring. Just looking for any real people experience in conjunction with the diabetes understanding of course that they may all be different. Grateful for any feedback. 

  • Hi  

    I can’t help as type 2 diabetic and on a different treatment plan but just to say I appreciate your humour in difficult times.  

    I do have a stoma though and can confirm that having the runs due to chemo with a stoma bag is somewhere that a lot of humour is needed :-)

    Keep smiling, a positive attitude really helps. 

    wishing you all the best for the treatment!
