Dr. Ng. (Killer legs....) I wish the Doctor good luck with colorectal cancer. That's what I have. But after conventional treatments of Chemo and Radiation, I'm hoping colorectal cancer is in my past. Chemo was tough. Anemic. Radiation left me with temporary radiation burns on my privates. None of that was fun. Immunotherapy should have less side effects.
