    DX March 7, 2009
    My husband was diagnosed March 7, 2009 with stage 4 with mets to the liver at the age of 35. He completed his 12 rounds of folfox + Avastin and had a colon resection and partial liver resection. The surgeon ablated the cancer that was too close to his vein. His cancer tumor went up again and the mets in the liver are increasing in size. He is now on folfiri with erbitux and feeling good except for the side effects of the Chemo. CEA is back to 2! We pray it's working!

    Spirit? She is absolutely the most positive person I have ever known. After 32 years of marriage, she still inspires me.

    Grateful Husband is still here
    Husband dx 6/3/09 with advanced Stage IV CRC with mets to liver and lungs. Six Folfox plus Avastin treatments. Currently doing Folfiri plus Erbitux. Doctor labeled the first PET scan a "Super scan" due to the advanced stage. Labeled most recent scan a "Near remission".

    We now understand the true meaning of "living with no regrets" and "quality of life is what counts".
