I had recurrent colon cancer, with 8 mets to the liver and 6 tumors in my right lung. I had hand and foot syndrome pretty badly and my hair got really thin due to the treatments, ugh! I have done 9 treatments of Folfox-Plus and my last CT can showed my liver and lungs clear!!! Thank you God!! I will be doing CT scans every 3 months for awhile to keep a close eye on things. So hang tough fellow survivors and don't give up, the beast can be beat!!
