&#8220;I feel violated.&#8221;
After doctor&#8217;s appointment in April
it was determined that Colin&#8217;s had internal hemorrhoids.
They figure this out by the infamous &#8220;lubed finger test.&#8221;
Colin says the strangest part of this test is that
they don&#8217;t announce entry.
They just&#8230;surprise you.
And yes, we picked on him for days.
I believe Christine tweeted something about it.
I wasn&#8217;t on the phone with [...]]]></description>

The same day Colin gots the news
that his arm pit doesn&#8217;t have to be scooped out,
his doctor gave him the MRI results.
[On the car ride to the appointment]
Eric:  You nervous?
Colin:  Yeah&#8230;
[uncomfortable silence]
Colin:  Heeere&#8217;s your sign.
(Bill Engval reference.  Blue Collar Comedy Tour.  Nevermind)
And anyone who has ever awaited MRI results knows

New chemotherapy!
New side effects!

There really isn&#8217;t anyway to make a poppin&#8217; ad for this shit&#8230;
During the Avastin treatment,
(see previous post)
Colin&#8217;s nurse discussed what side effects are common with the new drug.
Of coarse, anything is possible when it comes to chemo&#8230;
And we&#8217;ll get to them.
You can read more about Afinitor below,
but, lets be honest,
none of us [...]]]></description>

This is the first time I&#8217;ve been able to get photos
of Colin getting his Avastin treatment.

I always either forget the camera,
forget the batteries,
or forget to charge the batteries.
This time I had a nurse take the batteries from a TV remote.
Why?
Because I either left the battery charger at the Benefit Show&#8230;
&#8230;plugged into a wall
or
it fell out [...]]]></description>

Temodar is Colin&#8217;s chemotherapy drug.  Its specifically used for adults diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforms.

Chemotherapy drugs work by attacking cells during their reproduction phase or their growing stage.
Cells reproduce by dividing.  So one cell becomes two.
This is how 1 sperm and 1 egg eventually become a whole person.
Once you are a full size adult, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One week after Colin shaved his head.


His hair started falling out around his left ear first.  Then the back.

I thought the pillow was rubbing it off, but then again these could be the &#8220;fields&#8221; where radiation are passing.

Look at those eyes.  Falling in love yet?  Don&#8217;t break your hearts.

Avastin is a target therapy.  Specifically, it targets blood vessel growth.

See, a tumor is a living breathing growing organism.  And, like most organisms, it needs a fuel supply.
So, what does it use?
Your already existing circulatory system.  
And, if what you have isn&#8217;t enough, tumors can secrete a protein that tells your body [...]]]></description>

Steroid Side Effect #1: Acne
Now, according to our researc, this s not the same kind of acne you get during puberty.
This acne is actually a type of yeast problem.
Normally, we all walk around with natural yeast on our skin and we co-exist just fine.  So it&#8217;s not [...]]]></description>
