Well- sorry for sounding so glum in my last post! My boyfriend had his scan on Thursday and we got the results on Friday- ALL CLEAR!!! The oncologist said that stopping treatment completely was an option but that he would recommend continuing with Xeloda and cutting the Erbitux down to every three weeks instead of every two. Another scan in 3 months and 6 months and if all clear then treatment could stop. I never thought that I'd hear such encouraging words. Incidentially the onc said that in the 10 years he has been a consultant that my bf is the first person with such advanced cancer to go into complete remmission.We are so blessed. Feel so relieved and hopeful but also conscious that there are lots of people out there who are not receiving great news at the moment and I am thinking of you all too. Thanks, Jo
