Just got off the phone with my Onc. He told me the other day that he would call me and then have me come in for my results , But he decided to give them to me over the phone . So I have some good news and some bad . First the good .. My liver now only has 3 tumors one on the right which he said has shrunk . and two on the left. one has shrunk . and the bad news is that the other has grown . I think he said 9mm bigger . So plan is to go back on the oxy and reduce the 5fu by 15 % . and see if that helps with the hand and foot problems that I am having . he did say that I had a slightly enlarged node between my lungs , But that it showed no uptake on the scan . So he said that we will watch it , he did say that it has shown up on all my scans and has not changed . So one thing that I have learned is that my tumors give off a good cea when there is something different.Thanks you all for all of your warm wishes and Prayers .
Take Care and God Bless.

    Glad to hear of the shrinkage. Try Vit B6 100 mg 3 times a day for the hand/foot problems. Keep after the beast. Will keep you in our prayers.
