I completed 10 rounds Folfox/Avastin in Dec. 08. My doctor wanted me to do 12 rounds, but the neuropathy got too bad and I had to stop. I still have some numbness in my feet. The original plan was to do surgery after chemo but the PET scan showed that my liver met had disappeared. My doc told me that I had a 95% chance of recurrance, but so far I have managed to stay NED.

What wonderful news, thank you so much for sharing.
Keep up the diet and exercise and anything else you are doing, because it seems to be working GREAT for you!!!
I'm really, really trying to get into the exercise thing. I discovered I'm not the type of person to do the gym etc.(I've tried and failed so many times), but lately since I got an IPod, I rediscovered the music I used to dance to so many years ago, and am getting a nightly work out under the moon and the stars in my back yard, now that's exercise I discovered I can hang with.
Keep up the good work and healthy life style!!!

As for getting into chat I can't seem to either, but I think I could using explorer and not foxfire, I can't remember, but I believe that is what I had to do.

so grateful
Hi Randy,
What an encouraging story in such a special day. I visited the website yesterday and ended up with tears in my eyes for Lisa's case. I was a little bit scared to be back today.
Thanks a lot!
