We received Carl's CT results this morning. NO EVIDENCE OF METASTATIC DISEASE! (Sorry to yell but we are FREAKING HAPPY!) Everything looked unremarkable- Carl is so excited to be unremarkable for once in his life. When he was diagnosed with stage IV w/mets to his liver and a ton of lymph node involvement, we never thought we would see this day. Thank you to everyone who has helped us along this first part of our journey. God is Good!

Blessings,
Heather and Carl

    Great news. I wish that I were posting the same results for my husband who is also stage 4 with liver mets.

    I would be yelling this too.

    What treatment did Carl receive and when was he dx'd? I am always curious.

    My husband was dx'd in 2005 and is currently taking Xeloda.

    Again, great news! Congratulations to you both.

    Hi Betty,
    He had surgery quickly after his dx. He was dx'd on 10/12/06 and had surgery on 10/21. They did a colon resection where they took 8 in. of colon and a golfball size section out of his liver. They also removed 45 lymph nodes. After he recovered from that he had 5 rounds of Folfox, then 5 weeks of chemoradiation, then 3 rounds of Folfox and 2 of Folfiri.
    Hopefully your husband will be NED soon!

    Thanks everyone! This has been a great day! I had to laugh- our daughters took it for granted that the scan was going to be fine. They just looked at me when I told them the news like it was a given that he was all clear and why didn't I already know that! :)
