Hiya' Ann
Unusual and unique cancer, huh?
This should be a bumpy ride:)
I'm a big believer in a little 'watch and wait' stuff myself. Sometimes, we get in to big of a hurry to make it all happen. Cancer has no timetable. Sounds like your approach will be more surgical than chemical. Sounds like Folfox has flamed out - Folfiri is the other frontline player in our world here. Avastin too, given with either of those chemos.
I'm glad all is well for the time being. Welcome aboard and thanks for stepping out of the shadows of being a lurker.
Take care for now.

I love your sense of humor! I bet there are lots of "lurkers", I was one for some time before I started posting. I wish the best for you and any "lurkers".0 -

Hi Ann...my first thought
Hi Ann...my first thought was "wow now thats interesting"...I hate to give cancer the credit of being interesting, but unique beast that it can be...well sometimes honesty is what it is. I hope you find some time to rest and heal until your next surgery and in the meantime I hope a treatment plan is found for you beside surgeries. Rest up, hang in there, and stay strong! And we will be here for you always!

Please get to specialists
Rare cancers require someone with some experience or knowledge. I hope that you have consulted with a major medical center. I go to Memorial Sloan Kettering for my rare cancer (appendix cancer). I know there are some great centers in Washington, too. (I was just in Seattle and Redmond for my son's wedding! Sunny, but windy day.)
Wishing you well,
