Hi, just sending new so far on my husband Ian, he had his last of 8 cycles of chemo today, for colon mets in peritoneum. Next step is ct on 13th and then results on 19th. He has done so well so far, the ascites has not returned while on the chemo, we are hoping that this will be it, and chemo finished for good!! Oh well dreams might happen. Sending my love to you all and hoping you all have a fab Christmas. |

His previous scan results after his 7th round of chemo the report read there has been significant improvement in all areas, so the chemo is working at this moment at its best.

I'm very happy to hear that he is improving.
I'm sorry also that I am too late to send Christmas wishes to all. Maybe not too late for some. It is 26th here, now in Australia. I'm sure it is still 25th in some places.
Merry Christmas and positive news to all!

Hello,
I'm new to this site and my mom completed 6 months of chemo for Stage 3B colon cancer 4 1/2 months ago & 2 weeks ago we found out that the cancer has now showed up in her extra peritoneum. I'm just wondering what to expect. Did your husband have surgery before starting chemo again? What chemo drugs was he given?

Hi: I also have secondary mets to the peritoneum from gallbladder cancer. I had the gallbladder, its tumour, and part of the liver removed during surgery in April 2010. I then did 12 treatments of cisplatin + gemcitibine (standard gallbladder cancer chemo). That apparently didn't work all that well for the peritoneum. I then did 12 treatments of folfoxfiri (oxaliplatin + irenotecan + 5FU pump + leucovin) which can be a standard treatment for colon cancer - another is Folfox and another is folfiri, i.e. with oxaliplatin and no irenotecan or with irenotecan and no oxaliplatin). This treatment did seem to stabilize growth and spread of the peritoneum nodules (I have 5 or 6). They are trying to get peritoneal stripping surgery for me followed by the HIPEC procedure but in Canada it is only done in a very few places and they are very fussy whom they operate on as these are tough procedures.
