Riding that train again
The report reads as follows:
Impression: Interval development of suspected recurrent and metastatic disease with a new small, 5 mm pulmonary nodule in the right lower lobe, 4 cm (4.3 x 4 cm to be exact) right hepatic mass(that's in liver) and a 3.3 cm (3.3 x 3 cm to be exact)sigmoid mass seen in the left pelvis.
Darn it.

Crap!!! I was hoping when I opened this that it was going to be a "back to school" story and not cancer related. I guess you'll be meeting with onc. to come up with a plan of attack. Have you been on Xeloda during this time, if so for how long and what dose??0 -

No, I was supposed to be on it for 6 months after surgery, but only went 3 months, I couldn't afford it. Darn.

Had to stop treatment myselfSundanceh said:"The Crazy Colon Train"
Had to stop treatment myself to.
Due to getting lung resections havent had any Chemo since Jul 2nd (avastin 4 weeks before that)
Anyway removed all nodes from one lung (jul 18th) doing other lung not till Sept 12th. Plus no more chemo can be given several weeks after that.
Just wondering with no chemo at all this long where/if its gonna show up next. Maybe I shouldnt opted for lung mets surgery? Dammed if you do kinda thing.
Hope you dont lose what you gained Marie. Did they say how long you would have to say off avastin?0 -

Are all of these three nodules new or just the first one? I guess we all live with the truth that this cancer as a rule will advance and many of us are simply keeping things under control with what ever tools we have or choose. It is a pity that avast in can no longer be one of your tools (or is that still an option as it is ultimately a risk/benefit ratio decision as to whether to use it and it seems the risks of being off it may be worse than those of being on it) but there are other tools to look at. If I remember right ou have done a lot of the other conventionals and xeloda isn't possible (what about I've 5fu) so you may be a candidate for aflibercept or regorefenib.
I guess the bigger question is-how are you, both physically and mentally? This is never the news we want to hear but you always seem very robust in your posts. How is your current day to day quality and how much is the cancer currently impacting on your life? I do think these are all things we consider when we have think what the next stepp is.
It's is sad to be back on this train again but it is something familiar to so many of us. It really simply means another time to contemplate what next and some hard decisions. I hope you are keeping your head together and not letting yourself get overwhelmed by hat this might mean before you have had a good chance to talk to your team about next steps.
My thoughts are with you and look forward to hearing your next plan of attack,

Bummer
I am off Avastin at least temporarily after surgery. Even though restarting FOLFOX minus Avastin and stay hopeful that will be enough. I am so sorry that you are experiencing this nightmare but I remain hopeful that a way will be found to beat this. ((Hugs of comfort))0 -

The Avastin molecule attacks VEGF molecules. So far my wife has not been forced off her immunochemo by her surgery or dental work. If she were, we would still be doing cimetidine (anti-VEGF) and IV vitamin C (histamine neutralization where histamine levels mediate VEGF generation). Basically as much of the LEF protocols plus IV vitamin C as we can safely get away with.
In fact when surgery or dental work is going on, her cimetidine intake may double and her IV vitamin C may double or triple to fight infections and rebuild tissue.0
