help please
Had rectal/liver resction a year ago followed by 12 xelox and 6 avastin and xelox. Had few small lung nodules since diagnoses that grew some after oxali was stopped. They were still less then 1 cm. Had 2 thoracotomies recently and all nodules were taken out (they found more tiny ones 1-2 mm) Now question is what chemo to follow. Oncologist wants to save folfiri if something pops up (waiting on ct and mri results) and give me maybe again 5fu and avastin. I have been off of chemo for 3 months because of surgeries and very nervous. Any thoughts please?

SBRT......
I just did SBRT radiation on lung met , but mine was bigger 1.2 cm and I have a few small ones that she will do,if they incease in size. . Meanwhile I am on xeloda. I couldn't do RFA because the met was on a blood vessel, but that is a good option, as Phil said. Just my experience......hope you find a good option. ~Ann

Another good option tha I have been reading about is a new technology called Nanoknife. Google it if you wish. It can supposedly be used in sensitive areas where even RFA cant be used without damaging any surrounding tissue.
