thanks janie and marie
these are really the toughest days, i feel like buckling under the pressure.

my onc today said he knows the onc overseas, that they are to be respected and he said you can always try what available here locally if needed when you get back.

i am the third of his patients going on this current tour, so i will be travelling with like minded cancer patients from sydney, half way around the world. i thought he would say i was foolish, but I felt somewhat reassured that i am heading to where the worlds best care maybe found.

time will tell. i hope these monoclonal antibodies and the other treatments.

getting my chemo port back in 7am tomorrow, called the german clinic, chatted with my newest onc breifly. getting the port in is a good idea.

hugs,
Pete

ps if the cancer does not get me then these steamed sheeps brains will. they are the worst i have tasted. i have asked alt doc 6 if the sheep brains are eseential. he said yes. you know some good old fashioned chemo is not as scary as it used to be, now i eat sheeps brains and sea cucumbers.

what next mouse antibodies ? well actually yes. 9 days and counting to the beginning of another experiement. removeab

pps no answer hipec team yet! kind of relieved.

thanks marc and all HER2 receptor status for colorectal
this is a status update for my oncologist backhome and asking about my her2 status.
about 11% crc are her2, if i am i have some extra options.

the treatment if i am her2 positive involves apoptosis inducers, not precisely sure on the details, but the therapy can occur now removab is finished. it shows the principle of keeping your local care team in the loop so that a continuity of care can occur when i return home. so i get info i need hopefully, they may have to retrieve the tumour sample from the lab.

EMAIL UPDATE BELOW

Doctor Copic my oncologist at Hallwangen Clinic has asked me to find my HER2 receptor status, the link below provides some back ground.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2648993/

I have successfully complete one chemo embolisation with mitomycinin and avastin and three rounds of removab. a few more localised chemo embolisations are planned to target remaining peritoneal mets, lung and liver mets subject to the degree of response with removab.

going forward I will be having dendtretic cell vaccine made using the most effacious version of ndv combined with an apotosis inducer antigen developed by tim from sydney in aigt. David if you know Tim, let him know his great research is being tested on a fellow sydney sider who is very very grateful he shared his protein description with doctor nestlehut team. the optimum time frame dendretic cell vaccine and immune system preparation and monitoring for me is 4 months per detailed discussions research scientists at the dendtretic cell clinic.

I also need to under go serious chelation to get the platinum out from my folfox.

David, you may need to contact eva segalov to obtain my her2 status if its possible. please pass on my kindest regards to her and alison her receptionist. I will bring then some flowers when i am in complete remission, i am not coming home until that occurs.

David, would you mind letting professor Morris know that I am still in active treatment here and that I expect to be here until after Christmas

I hope you don't mind being my point of contact while in therapy here, but as you would be my oncologist when I return I feel its professional to keep you updated. If you are ever interested my blog is updated each few days with my obsessive research and whats going on.
