in Colorectal Cancer #1

I am getting a needle biopsy on 6/18 (I know Laz I was really against it but I want to have extensive DNA testing done on a current sample) followed by y90 mapping on  6/19.

I will have the actual y90 treatment on 7/3. Then I fly to Seattle to meet with Dr. Lin on 7/15 so he can work with my oncologist on ADAPT (XCEL) maintenance therapy.

    Sounds like you're good to go

    Its always good to have a plan. Waiting for tests, not knowing what to do, is so stressful.

    June and July are going to be quite the months, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. 

    Lisa just had Y90 done a couple of weeks ago. Did you read her thread. She is doing well, and you will too. 

    Good luck and many blessings.

    thinking of you

    Been thinkking about you.  Glad you have a plan.  I've been off for awile trying to get my plans in place...MDA did testing on me and found I had the B RAF gene.  I hope you get the results you need.  We've got to continue to fight.  I refuse to accept a 2 year life line.  Will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.''

    It's good to hear from you.

    It's good to hear from you. Have they suggested a treatment plan for the BRAF gene. That is one of the things they are going to test my biopsy for.

    Good attitude and way to be proactive. We have to be our own advocate in order to survive.

    Keep moving forward

    and do what you think is your best option for you. Whenever I check this site, I learn about more options to ask my brother's doctor. I hope all goes well for you. Keep that positive attitude and make sure you take care of yourself.

    Hoping for the best outcome for you,

    Lin
