Hello! I posted a couple of days ago about my dad (stage IV - 4 1/2 years into the fight, recent pet scan showing activity in liver and colon and elevated cea) Well, he has a super clean colon - not even a polyp. Now, we just need to kill the cancer in his liver. I am so glad that we are at Johns Hopkins. I feel confident that all will work out. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and kind thoughts. You guys are awesome!!!

    YOUR DAD IS AWESOME! Glad to hear things appear to be contained to the liver. Great organ to mess with due to its ability to regenerate.

    Best wishes,

    Stacy
