...That's great news! Avastin isn't bad at all, I have never been on oxy, but hear it isn't any fun, I wish you luck with the treatment, my onc told me avastin is very good for the diseased liver especially.
And I actually listened to Phil and his nausea remedy, and actually enjoy it, not only does it work, but it sure does put me in a better mood lol...I sure wouldn't pull his finger though!
Hugsss!

Eric, I am fairly new to this, but I have been praying for you and checking often to see your results. I too have stageIV and it is in my stomach,lymphnodes and liver...they can't resect or anything else until it shrinks. I will be having my ct scan next Tues. and feeling scared but confident. Your story gives me soooooo much hope. I am smiling right now and thinking I can do this!! God Bless, Patti0 -

Eric:
Congratulations on your wonderful news.
I think the persons you are leaving out of your awards speech are the gifted doctors who treated you.
For all of us, I think, there is the hope that we can put together a team of doctors who can do their magic and heal us. You obviously had a wonderful team.

almost NED
Woo Hoo good news Eric!!! I am very small, only 4 ft 11 inches tall, 85 pounds and 51 years old. I received oxiplatin and had pretty mild side effects. I would receive chemo for a couple of hours and then they would put the pump on for 2 days and I would go and then be unhooked. Hope you go thru as easy as I did. I stayed active all during treatment, I was in good shape physically before I was diagnosed. My reversal slowed me down some but now I'm full speed ahead. Good luck cutie!!0 -

Eric,
I surf this site alot but do not often post. I am in a similar situation with abdomnial, para-aortic nodes and some in my chest/neck too. No Liver or lung mets. I am on #9 of FOLFOX/avastin and trends are good ( nodes smaller, CEA down etc.)though I am not NED.
I was just wondering why they changed your regimen now when it seems that your are responding well? Was it the rash/erbitux? I actually forget what you have been on and when you started. Just curious as to you and your team's thinking on the treatment change.
FYI, have tolerated this regiman well save for a bit of numbness in my toes.

Kuastoi - They changed my regimen because the doctor said he did not want my body to get used to my current regimen. There is a point where the cancer gets used to it and it is no longer as effective. Because I responded so well he wanted to put my current treatment on the shelf for later use in case it returns.
Winney - I have only had one surgery so far and that was to remove the diseased part of the colon and they did that before I began treatment.
Tiny - thank you for the your input. hopefully I will do as well as you.
Lisa and Nudgie - Thank you for caring and for the prayers. You too, Kathleen

That is a very intriguing approach.... I have only seen postings of people being changed due to lack of response. I do understand the development of resistance, but had not heard of shelving a treatment for later like this. I cannot remember all of your previous posts, I suspect you were on folfiri/erbitux. How many courses did you complete and where are you being treated?
Anyone else had this approach?
Like I said earlier, I am looking at #10 folfox/avastin in 2 weeks. My scans have shown some decrease in size of the nodes and CEA has come down from max of 37 to 12.6 - we had discussed changing after my scans but DANA Farber recommended to push on through as is.
Congrats, and more of the same progress in the future, hope I can report more definitive progress myself at some point.0 -

Kuastoi - I was on cpt 11,5fu, and erbitux and have only completed six courses. Regular chemo every two weeks, erbitux every week. So I have had six full chemo treatments and 12 erbitux treatments. My cea started out at 331 so it was very high. I don`t know what it is now but will find out tomorrow. It must be low since what little cancer I have left is nearly inactive.
