    Good.

    Good for you, Donna. What a relief that is!

    I hope you are enjoying the good news that your tumors are shrinking and the strong reassurance you got from your oncologist.

    I certainly wish you and your family well. I have appreciated your posts of support. It is hard to overstate the importance of this board as a resource for people who have cancer and for their caregivers. Everyone needs to be welcome here and you have been very generous and open in reaching out to others in need.

    good news
    Good to hear you are doing so good Donna and the saying size matters is so true praying they will go down to nothing...hugs from OKlahoma

    That's Great News
    So glad that the tumors are shrinking and other ones are stable. That is definitely good news. Happy that you are still feeling so well and keeping active - that is important as you are fighting this disease. Keep up the positive attitude.

    You are so positive in your thinking and that is great. To know that your tumors are shrinking and there wasn't any spread to your lungs was great to hear. God Bless you and have fun with your kids. Enjoy Life each day! Margaret

    So Thankful
    Donna it is so wonderful to hear that your turmors are shrinking. I know from waiting for Frank's CT scan to know how stressful the waiting can be. You are truly a ray of sunshine on the board and truly a blessing to each one you touch through your words of encouragement and your life. We will continue to keep you on our prayer list and pray for you daily. You are an inspiration not just to me but to so many. I am so happy for you and your family. Shrinking is good and hopefully NED is on its way. Take care and always remember how much you are loved and supported.
    Hugs,
    Anna and Frank

    Good Job
    Looks like both you and George had some good news from our onc's this week (you can see my post visit with the onc). Anyway, shrinking is good, no new stuff is good, so stay the course. I know you want more, just like we do, and who knows, maybe that elusive more might be just around the corner. I've been researching stuff on treatment of liver tumors other than chemo so if I come up with anything we don't already know about, I'll let you know. One thing I found, out of Pennsylvania, is freezing the tumors, taking them down to sub zero temperatures. Another one was injecting them with 100% absolute alcohol. Sounds kind of science fiction to me but who knows. I'm on the fence about theraspheres/sir sphires right now. Guess I should look into that more. Someone on Colon Club was talking about it today. Anyway, the news is good so take that and run with it - Hugs Tina

    Thanks ALL!!
    For all the encouragement! I forgot to mention those teeny tiny nodules are on my lung, but aren't doing anything, no activity, my onc is more concerned about my liver, she said the nodules are "randon" as they come and go, so that's why she isn't suspecting any spreadage there...

    You guys are all awesome, I would soooo much love to go to Colonpalooza, of course I may not have the funds for it, but we'll see! I'll try really hard to save up!

    Hugsss!

    Your scans today
    This is great news Donna! My husband is at the clinic today starting new clinical trial. Sounds like you and Tom are going down the same road. He was on Folfiri for 9 months and his disease stayed stable - little shrinking, no spreading but stable. At that time they tried liver resection but once they went in they found he had more tumors on his liver than showed on the scans. Once he recovered from the surgery they would not put him back on the Folfiri so he started a clinical trial. Nothing has worked as well as the Folfiri. Stay on this regimen as long as you can - as long as you maintain stable disease until something better is proven through trials. We are hoping and praying this new treatment we started today is going to get him back to stable disease. We will be very happy with just that! Take care - been thinking and praying for you today.
