Monica,
You are awesome and one strong lady! I admire your courage and include my prayer along with others here, to give you love and comfort. My husband was diagnosed w/rectal Ca IIIC (and heavy lymph node envolvement) last Christmas and I know our fight is really just a journey that has a long way to go. It sounds like fighting it works. I will tell my husband your encouraging story. -
Monica,
Hope you are still reading your replies...I have not been on for a while and just read your post. My husband is also on erbitux and irinotecan since 10/05. It is starting to not be as effective and we are looking for clinical trials-just to be prepared. Surgery is not an option for him - he has areas in the abdomen, chest and lungs. Why did they stop the irinotecan and erbitux for you? It just seems like it was still working. Is there any way to continue it in Canada? How long were you on the erbitux and irinotecan? Well, hope this gives you some hope...keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
