Met with the oncologist today. I will have 3 rounds of folfox with avastin. 3-4 weeks later I will have VATS on my lungs and probable microwave ablation on my liver, I will then resume folfox with avastin for 3 rounds and then alternate folfiri and folfox for an additional 4-6 rounds, I will take 5 weeks off and have liver resection if necessary. I will then enroll in the clinical trial I mentioned in a previous post. Well, that's my plan anyway.

    Plans
    Sounds like you have your plans laid out for the next several months. You have gone through so much and still continue to forge through and seek out new avenues to try. You have a lot of spirit and I know that you will prevail.

    Good plan
    I'm glad you have a plan, and it sounds very proactive. Good for you! I know this road is not going to be easy by any means, but it's good you have some options. Let us know when you need a shoulder to lean on.

    *hugs*

    Man with a plan.
    John,
    I'm so sorry that I didn't reply to your last post (PET Scan results) I didn't know what the hell to say. I am very happy that your onc seems to be aggresive in dealing with your situation. I wish you the best of luck. Keep up the fight.

    John

    Hold on tight
    You definitely have bumpy roads ahead, but i'm so happy you have options. I sense a brave man who will not surrender. Like they say if you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl. Never, never give up. It's not over until it's over.
    Hold on tight
    XOXOXO
