in Colorectal Cancer #1

Well today was the day that I feared for a long, long time. I saw my onc. The scan was not good to say the least. I have 12 new nodules in my lungs. a spot on my spleen. A spot on my abdominal wall. it appears that there might be more tumor hidden behind what they took out of my chest wall back in September. The spot on my liver that I did SIRT followed by ablation appears to have grown. Although I am getting a second opinion on that from my IR to see if it is just more scar tissue building up there from the ablation.

So the plan is get a port in ASAP and start FOLFIRI plus Cryamza (New monoclonal antibody drug).

I don't know if anyone has ever said to any of you that they could be hit by a bus. I heard it recently. There is also the cancer patients response. "A healthy person could get hit by a bus but a cancer patient sees it coming". Well if that is the case the bus is in my face with the high beams on and I don't have many places to run and hide.

    Oh H*** no!

    Jeff, d***! I am so sorry. Words are just plain usless right now, there is no way on earth I can communicate my feelings. 

    What a dance this is turning out to be. A never ending merry-go-around. 

    You know you will have all of my most sincere thoughts and prayers and good vibes (I'm all about those good vibes) as you go forward. 

    Cyber hugs, mate

    Oh, No!!!

    I'm so sorry to  read this.  I wish we could all  join together to hold that  bus back and dim its lights.  Sending positive vibes and hope that the  new  treatment regimen will have a positive effect so you can keep on fighting.

    I wish CSN would let us swear

    because really there no words adequate to express myself here.  You've been so strong, Jeff, and fought this crap for so long.  My hopes for you are that you continue to find the strength to keep up the battle, and that the chemo plan will do its job and knock the new stuff back down.  And that you will get lots more time to ride that bike and continue to be the bad a s s that you are!

    Unhappy news

    Wishing you the best in getting that port in fast and getting started on Folfiri.  We all know how discouraging this is, but the fight is on again.  You are an inspiration to so many of us, hope you can sense the good wishes and prayers coming in your direction.

    Thank you all for your

    Thank you all for your support. The funny thing is the night before I got the news i was listening to some music in my car and it really moved me. I cried like a baby. I mean I really let it out. When I went for the results I was remarably calm. Even my blood pressure was good which is usually high when I am waiting for scan results. I stayed very calm when my onc went over the scan report with me and agreed to chemo without any hesitation. I think it was because I got it all out of my system the night before.

    Dang it!

    Jeff - That's awful.  I so feel for you.  Ihope that the FOLFIRI and Cryamza knock things out in short order.  Maybe put a little in the gas tank of that bus and knock it out of commission.  Prayres and healing thoughts going your way.  Traci
