My Oncologist is one smart man and I just love him to death. He’s been doing this for almost 30 years and he specializes in Colorectal cancers. He’s the head of a lot of studies and fly’s around from state to state. So he knows his **** “So to speak“ LOL. Yesterday when I seen him he wanted me to do some things with my hands. I had a hard time doing most but some I did just fine. He poked a pinched my feet and toes as well as my fingers. He then says that he is taking me off of Oxy for my last three treatments. He stated that he already lowered it by 20% a few weeks ago and that the damage it is doing to my nerves far out weighs its cancer cell fighting. He will keep me on the 5FU pump for the last 3 treatments and does not for see that it will change the out come in any way. He states that my cancer is a very slow growing type of cancer that it responds well to chemo and radiation…. Then states that “it will be a act of god if it ever comes back”. OMG I almost fell on the floor!!!! Is this fight almost over? Can this be true? I would have told you guys last night but I felt as though I was in a fog. He still wants to scan me in 6 months but wants to do labs every month just to be sure..

I Hope So!damama24 said:omg
That is wonderful news. I will be praying that everything goes well and your battle may be nearing and end. Take care of yourself Deb
I hope he can get rid of it all, if it shrunk it by 20%, is he going to be removing the rest of it?? I'd be a happy camper if you got off the oxy, that would be great! and then NED?? Yes, there's always hope! don't lose it
Hugsss!

Oh that oxy can be such a bugger can't it. I'm glad he is taking you off of it especially if it has already done most of it's job. You should start feeling better now.
