Update on Husband

ive been lurking some here and there, but got a puppy to help take our minds off cancer and boy has she helped! last Time I posted I believe it was an updated on the new cancer found back in late summer after a scare in scans. Since then Rich completed 6 more cycles of chemo, making it a totle of 20 since last year when First diagnoseD. the last 6 were 5-fu and Avastin. We just returned from mD Anderson and had all the scans. The cancer that was newly found in the fatty tiSue near the rectom has dissolved and shows no evidence at this time. The place on the colon wall shrank from 2.3 x 1.8 cm to 1.8x 0.6cm. So rich is preparing for 6 weeks of oral chemo with radiatioN. Then scans to see where it is. The surgeon at MDA said depending on how things go surgery may not be needed & it may be a let’s just wait and see what happens. After the last trip and scans we felt defeated and I could tell Richard was really struggling. So this was news we needed just at the right time to make him want to fight harder!!! Oh and he had surgery on  the Lower back L4 & 5 since my last post as well! My price charming turned out to be a super Hero as well!! Also, no Mets have showed since the orginal diagnosis when he had the met on the liver! I look back to July 2017 when he was First diagnosed with Stage 4 and can believe he’s completed 20 sessions of chemo and 3 surgeries in about a year. We know this disease can change any moment, but we feel hopeful once again that he just may be NED one day or pretty darn close! Thanks for letting me share!
