I'd be glad to share my treatment plan and I'll try to keep it short:
Diagnosed in May '05 with Stage IV colorectal. One rectal tumor, twelve liver tumors and five suspicious lung spots. No lymph nodes lit up on Pet scan. Started chemo, at Johns Hopkins, with Folfox and Avastin, with a 46 hour take-home pump. Did this for 4.5 months. Rectal tumor resolved completely using chemo. Went to MD Anderson and had liver resected by Dr. Steven Curley. A few lymph nodes biopsied- all negative. More post-surgery chemo, same protocol. In Oct. of '06 the lung spots finally lit up on a Pet scan. Took 2 months of same chemo, then lung resection by Dr. Rice at MD Anderson on Feb. 1st '07. Then took post lung surgery chemo again.
Tally: 2 years clear for rectal tumor, 18 months clear from liver tumors and 3 months clear for lung tumors.
Hope this helps!
