New member - Sharing the history of my mum in this disease

I want to share with all of us the history of my mum in this disease. I found this site in February and since then I’ve been reading yours posts and I’ve learned a lot about this.

My mum is 64 years old and was dx in October’11 through a test of blood in stool that was made on July, but they don’t did the colonoscopy until late September (she don’t have a private insurance and then is Social Security who makes the appointments), after that they made a CT and then told us that she has mets on lungs, liver, peritoneum and retroperitoneum, and that wasn’t possible the surgery of the primary because of that.
The KRAS Test in the colon tumor was mutated. Then they put she on FOLFOX and after 6 rounds, the CT scan done and they said FOLFOX was not effective and that for the KRAS mutated the only another chemo possible was FOLFIRI, they proposed to enter on a Clinical trial and she accepted .

In the clinical trial they made a biopsy of the met of the liver and then the result of the KRAS test of the KRAS was not mutated, then they put her on CETUXIMAB + FOLFIRI (was random who decided this or the new drug). She now is on the third round and we are hoping this chemo will be effective, the next week she has the appointment to make the CT scan.
