Hi, probably alot of you don't rem me.. I was dx in 2003 and have been in remission. My husband however was dx in 2008 with colon ca had a liver resection in 2009. He was taking Avastin for spots on his lung that showed on a ct scan, and it caused him to have congestive heart failure. That chemo was stopped and he has been watched closely with ct scans. He had a pet/ct last week, and now it show spots on his liver that lit up, and his cea is up to 3 from 0.9. The doc is going to start him on xeloda pills and check on him every month. Has anyone done this? If so how has it been. Thanks

    I'm so sad to hear that! I also had a liver resection in 2009. I hope they find that it's not even cancer!

    Hubby....Please eat healthy, juice and do all you can to help your body heal itself. It won't hurt. This is just my view.....and some others!!

    Thank you.. yes they said
    Thank you.. yes they said his liver resection went really good.. all clean margins, he feels good, and looks good.. so we will try these pills, and hopefully they will kill all these spots.. They tell us there are few side effects so I am hoping for that.

    Gail,
    You two have been through so much. It is good to hear that the resection went well. Others on the board have been on Xeloda. I am sure they will chime in.

    Best to both of you.

    Aloha,
    Kathleen

    Not fair
    It isn't fair for both of you to have CRC!!

    My thoughts and prayers are with you.
