Radiation to liver
In Sept. I had a liver met removed, but because of the location of the tumor, there was a small area where the surgeon couldn't get a clean margin. I have gotten an opinion from MD Anderson that they could do radiation to that area. Has anyone out there had radiation to the liver? How bad are the side effects?

Is anyone familiar with the Cellsearch Circulating Tumor Cells test?
I guess I'm at the stage where I'm questioning everything. This time last year I didn't take the possibility of getting cancer at all seriously, and never had a coloncopy. Waited until I was 67 for that and then I got the bad news. Now I take everything about colon canser very seriously. My doctor thinks the Cellsearch…

ARRGGH- How to wade through several Opinions on treatment? such diverse opinions
I posted a few weeks back that my cancer team suggested a chemo break and that I am a candidate for Theraspheres.

Hi Phil, My husband is a huge guitar fan & player. I played your clip for him last night (which he loved); he asked me to ask you what kind of guitar you are playing. It looks similar to one of his gitars, an Ovation but not quite identical. Take care.

Should I be worried with a slight CEA increase?
I’ve been getting 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin chemotherapy and my CEA rate has gone from 1.9 on 6/19/09 to 2.1 on 12/03/09. Should I worry? Also, they did a “Cellsearch Circulating Turmor Cells” test which came back “0”. Does this mean there are no cancer cells in my blood?
