    Never give up
    Dear Tina -- You were so kind to respond to early posts of mine regarding my husband who was first diagnosed Stage 1 July 2008 and then advanced to Stage 4 November 2009 that recurred in the colon and mets to liver and lungs. Here we are almost a year later of chemo from 5FU, Leucovorin, Oxi, and Avastin and then the Oxi had to be dropped and since June he has been on Xeloda and Avastin only. There has been some reduction in the liver tumors and slow progression of the lung tumors, which are small, but nevertheless, continuing to advance.

    I understand how discouraging it is for you and your husband to have progression revealed in the scans. How is George feeling at present? From what I have read, he seems to be a strong man who has continued to work (my husband as well) and enjoy his life even while having his treatments. He sounds like a wonderful man with great courage. And you as his caregiver seem loving and attentive.

    I have no words of wisdom regarding his situation ... as my husband and I find ourselves in the same predicament ... but I will encourage you to live in the moment as much as possible. I see my husband living with his cancer, not dying from it. That is not to mean I do not think that at some point his cancer may overtake him, but I do not really know this.

    There are many new treatments on the horizon ... it is possible that something could be there for our loved ones, and then maybe not. I am a realist and yet our husbands are here with us right now to love and support. Do not let your heart go dark with this news. Stay strong.

    Tina I feel so badly for you two. It is very very hard to feel you have to start the fight over but I know you will get your feet under you and there just have to be other options.

    with very best wishes and hugs

    Tina, Sorry to hear about
    Tina, Sorry to hear about the scan results. I'm sure that George will do well with the new chemo, just like he did with the other. I was upset when I found out I had to start a more agressive chemo again, but I felt better one the plan was set. George is lucky to have you ! Brenda

    Hey Tina. I am sorry to hear that you received bad news, for I am sure it was devastating. Let's just hope his docs can get the ball rolling quickly to explore something else they can do to help him. Keep your chin up guys! God bless you both!
