in Colorectal Cancer #1

This is the guy I saw for my 2nd opinion.  He has added Celebrex to the chemo mix with his patients, and claims significant improvements in outcomes.

He is here in Seattle, with the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, but apparently will work with docs in other areas.

Just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention.

Many thanks to Maia at the Colon Club for keeping people up to date on these things!

    I was already taking  xelox

    I was already taking  xelox (XELIRIR plus Vectibix) then started reading about the ADAPT therapy thanks to Maia on th Colon Club. I presented it to my onc and he prescribed Celebrex for me although only 200mg a day. I wonder if i shouldnpush to double the dosage or leave it alone for now. I have a  ct scan on 5/16 to see how i am responding.

    I'm not a 100% sure but I thought it was 200mg twice a day. But I'll be finding out soon I'm hoping after the consult he'll work with my doc.
