in Colorectal Cancer #1

I went today for my follow up visit after my recent  Y90.   I had bloodwork and a CTScan last week.  The results of the scan were not favorable.  My Onc says that my cancer has spread.  Several spots on my lungs which I have never had before and lymph node involvement.   There is a build up of fluid in my abdomen.  The scan even shows new spots on my liver.   I am playing the waiting game now.  I have two more doctors that want to look at the scan and then treatment options will be set out.   I have to figure this out this week.    Just sad right now.

    Dearest Lisa

    I can't form the words to express how badly I feel for you. What devastating news!  I will pray that you can be comforted at this time, and I pray that your team of Doctors can come up with a treatment plan that will deal with the Cancer, and the fluid build-up.

    Oh how I hate this disease and what it does to us. 

    Blessings, my friend.

    Gosh, I don't know what to say but this cancer sucks.  Things change so fast!  Hopefully you can get a plan and fight this crap back.

    I am so sorry, Lisa

    I know how hard it is to get news like that.  And waiting to get the tx plan in place sucks.  Have you done all of the main chemos?  I have known people who "failed" (hate that term) the first line chemo, only to do much better with one of the second line regimens.

    Pls keep us posted.  We are all hoping for things to take a turn for the better for you soon.

    Big hugs~AA

    So sorry that things have

    So sorry that things have changed so quickly.  I hope that your doctors go over your scans and can come up with a new game plan, and quickly.  Just a note that on my very first CT Scan they noted numerous spots on my peritoneum and it turned out I had zero, nada, zilch.  Hope a review of the scans helps.  Traci

    Lisa, my heart hurts for you.

    Lisa, my heart hurts for you. You have already had to deal with so much. I hope and pray another look will come up with options not previously considered. Some here on the board may even do so. 

    Strength and hope.

    hugs,

    So sorry

    to read this news Lisa.  You have been so supportive of so many here, sharing your stories.  The waiting is tough, but try to remain positive.  Easier said than done, I know.  I hope they come up with a successful plan for you.

    Sorry

    Sorry that you recieved this news.  Hoping with two other doctors wanting to look at and discussed options with you, you might have a better and more clear path they can direct you.  Wishing they come up with a plan that can take care of the new spots you have.  You are in my thoughts.

    Hoping for good news from 2nd onc.

    I tell my brother all the time, none of us has a date of expiration on the bottom of our feet.  We just need to live our lives as good people and keep on pushing through. My brother is on a chemo regimen that the doctor had to tailor to him because of all his medical issues, so his chemo is low dosage. he goes for a CT scan on Wednesday and depending on whether they still see the liver tumor, he will also get an MRI. I am just enjoying having him around and feel blessed for everyday the chemo keeps him alive and he still has quality of life.

    Best wishes!
