    Dang it... I hate hearing that your back on the train.
    Do I remember correctly that you are taking the cimetadine? :(
    I will be thinking of you and saying some prayers.

    Sorry to read this Winter.
    Sorry to read this Winter. Christopher will be starting chemo again after a summer off due to progression. Looks like he will go back on 5FU Avastin maintenance which has worked for him for over two years....Sending you big hugs

    Not the words any of us want to read, Winter Marie...
    I'm so sorry you didn't get better news. I really hope your docs can give you a new plan that will knock the little bastards out once again (sorry for not putting little symbols in place of letters...I'm too damn angry at cancer right now to worry about it). Many hugs, strength, coming your way~Ann Alexandria

    Are all of these three nodules new or just the first one? I guess we all live with the truth that this cancer as a rule will advance and many of us are simply keeping things under control with what ever tools we have or choose. It is a pity that avast in can no longer be one of your tools (or is that still an option as it is ultimately a risk/benefit ratio decision as to whether to use it and it seems the risks of being off it may be worse than those of being on it) but there are other tools to look at. If I remember right ou have done a lot of the other conventionals and xeloda isn't possible (what about I've 5fu) so you may be a candidate for aflibercept or regorefenib.

    I guess the bigger question is-how are you, both physically and mentally? This is never the news we want to hear but you always seem very robust in your posts. How is your current day to day quality and how much is the cancer currently impacting on your life? I do think these are all things we consider when we have think what the next stepp is.

    It's is sad to be back on this train again but it is something familiar to so many of us. It really simply means another time to contemplate what next and some hard decisions. I hope you are keeping your head together and not letting yourself get overwhelmed by hat this might mean before you have had a good chance to talk to your team about next steps.

    My thoughts are with you and look forward to hearing your next plan of attack,

    They're all new ones. Physically good, in school full time (16 credit hours only this semester), working part time, still babysitting grandchildren the rest of the time. Cancer doesn't really impact my life except for the time it takes to do all the cancer related things (dr's, scans, blood work, etc). Hoping I'll do good on the chemo again. Don't know if it will be surgery first then chemo, or chemo, then surgery. Waiting to hear from onc, so until then, life as usual.

    Sorry to Hear This
    I know you said you don't have details yet but do you know if they are talking RFA, wedge resections, or a combination?
    They might be things to discuss...
    Hope it goes well.

    WinterMarie you have an amazing story. I just read your profile. I'm sorry the disease is back. You're a fighter and an inspiration. Isn't it amazing how you can feel fine and live life like normal but the scans read otherwise? Keep up the fight!

    Oh Winter...hang in there. I had a very similar recurrance after stopping Avastin. I went on just plain 5FU and it got things back in check for almost a year.

    Big hugs, you got through it once you can again. Just thinking of Buzz and what he said to you when you first got here with that picture. :-) Look how far you have come. Like it or not sending prayers your way and hugs.
