Update

Hello All:

Thanks to all for thinking of me and sending me private messages. I got my CT scan results back Monday afternoon. They aren't great. One of the tumors in my liver has grown from 7 CM to 13 cm - that's a good bit and probably why I have been having more pain in my back, side and liver area, plus my temp. has been up. I have had one tiny nodule in one of my lungs but it too has grown a little, however I now have nodlues in both lungs, - the scan says "these findings are very worrisome for early manifestation of mestatic nodular lung disease." So the oncologist has put me back on Xeloda and I will start taking Avastin again by IV tomorrow afternoon. Plus ,my cea is 834. It was 24 or 27 and my liver enzymes are getting out of range. I have had about two weeks to get used to the wacky lab resulsts, but just a few days for the scan results. My doc didn't say anything about that I needed to think about stopping work or at least cutting back, so I'm not. I'm going to keep on going like I always have. He increased my pain medicine to morphine - stopped the Lortab because of the possibility of future liver damaage. I've also have had to take some nausea medicine lately. That's where things stand now. Take Care. Roy
