I'm glad you found us. This site was a godsend when I was dx in 2005. It helped me through everything and the people here are wonderful. I'm sending good vibes for the results. Waiting for test results in the worst. Anyone you talk to here will tell you they hate the wait. Too bad docs don't understand our anxiety? HUGS and tell us how it goes.

Wishing you and your mom luck. I know exactly how you feel. When my dad was waiting for results it was so hard for me. I remember feeling sick to my stomach and couldnt eat hardly anything for days. Its so hard to wait. I wish they could give you the results the day you have the scan. I dont know why drs make you wait so long. Mindy0

Well, we heard results today. Actually I was so nervous I called Friday and got a "shows improvement" answer. Today was more comprehensive. No new mets, tumor markers continue to decline. I was wrong about liver. She does have nodules there, but doc says disease is stable and not progressing. Her cea continues to go down and she is feeling overall well. They are discontinuing the oxliplatin, but continuing with 5fu, leucovorin & avastin. Mom is discouraged due to liver nodules. I am trying to get her focused on the fact that she could have heard a lot worse and that she is stable, no disease progression. The doc did mention the magnesium and calcium. I have her on a multi vit and b-12. Anyone have experience with the calcium and magnesium? Do you take a supplement in addition to a multivitamin?0

I'm sorry about your mom and tell her to remember that there is a purpose for her living..I want to share the info about colon cancer to everyone I meet becasue three people in my family have passed away and my oldest brother is being treated currently. It could have been prevented if we all had shared our info with each other. My kids are being tested for the genetic gene so they might not have to go through cancer.Thanks and my prayers are with you. Paula0
