    I wanted to share my story wıth you as well, ıt looks lıke yours but your progress ıs better. Colon cancer stage 4 wıth mets to lıver and lungs. Inıtal CEA was 17000. I had Avastın, Irınotecan and 5FU for about one and half year(ınıtal dıagnosıs on 2-26-16), 2 months ago I started Irınotecan and Elbıtux and had CEA dropped from 175 to 34 so ıt looks lıke Elbıtux ıs workıng excellent. Inıtıallt I was told that I am not elıgıble for surgery. I hope one day I wıll be elıgıble for surgery lıke you and eventually NED.

    Also hoping for surgery or NED

    My wife was diagnosed a year ago with almost the same thing.  She has colon cancer that spread to the liver and adrenal gland.  She was told it was incurable, and not a candidate for surgery.  When she started her CEA was 1600, and her CA-19 was 3400. She was on a regiment of 5fu, Avastin, and Oxyplatin.  She had to good scans, all tumors reduced close to 50 percent.  The onc took her off Oxyplatin because she said it can cause long term nyropothy.  She had another scan it shrunk again but not by much.  She just had her last scan May and her liver tumor grew a little, but the adrenal and the colon stayed the same.  Her CEA was down to 450 in Feb. then jumped back up to 750 in May. The onc added Irinotecan to the 5Fu and Avastin and she get rescaned next month to see how it is going.  She also offered us a clinical trial but my wife refused because she they don’t have enough research on it. Also hoping we can get to the point she can get surgery or she is in the NED stage.
