Good News on Liver CT...But Hold On a Second
I posted my good news that my liver 'maybe mets' were gone for now. I was very happy. But wouldn't you know - my asthma doctor ordered a chest X-ray because of something he saw on that very same scan. And even though my liver looks fine, the radiologist said that my lung X-ray was "concerning for malignancy". I was sent to…
Not worried, BUT...
I get scan results Tuesday. I feel like the results will be stable or good. But that makes me worry because the last time I wasn't that worried about a scan, I had my recurrence. I feel like it is not possible to have a scan and not worry at this point.
Hello, new to here but not new?
Hi everyone. My husband was first diagnosed in March 2014 at 41 yo, stage 4 when the found it. He's gone through radiation, all the chemo-Xeloda, 5FU, Folfox, Folfox-avastin, and some others I dont remember. He's had 4 major surgeries, ablation, resection, you name it. He's had it removed from his colon, liver, lungs,…
NewHere
Anyone heard from NewHere? It doesn't look like he's been on for awhile and I'm concerned.
Chemo break and colon resection
Hey guys, Hope wherever you are that you are doing well! My dad is now home from the liver surgery. It heals nicely but hell it was terrible even though the mets are out the liver surgery was not easy at all. Starting at 0 again and the recovery needs a while.... but we are positive I am writing because my dads last chemo…
Uncertainty
Finally had my annual scan and bloodwork that was postponed from March due to COVID-19. Was really hoping to report year 4 NED but, alas, that was not to be. They found a very small (3mm) nodule on my right lung and unfortunately I had an increase in my CEA to a 5.8. While my surgeon would not have been concerned with just…
Hi New Guy
HI, Brand new to the board, and cancer. Found out Friday that I have a mass in my sigmoid colon. Good news is CT scan confirmed that the cancer hasn't metastasized. Had a consult with a surgeon yesterday who apparently is one of the best in the city. She wants to do an MRI to confirm exact location. Surgery expected 2-5…
Problems post treatment
It's been a long time since I've been here. I'm at my wits end with doctors. In 2019 I was diagnosed with stage three rectal cancer. I first underwent a chemo/radiation combo where I took Xeloda twice a day during the week while getting radiation treatments Monday through Friday. This was followed by surgery that did not…
Is chemo really necessary?
It is still difficult to talk about, but this seems like the only place for now where I can do so. Last month, my husband was diagnosed with early stage III colon cancer at age 29. It was a massive shock and the scariest time of our lives. Thankfully, by now we are almost out of the woods. My husband had a PET scan done…
