Lonsurf results so far
This is my first post. I have been reading this board for some time. I felt it was time to report this to other members.
I had been on every other chemo treatment available to me with moderate sucess, and they all quit working. I have colon cancer with mets tp liver, lungs, and peritoneal lining. I was diagnosed in Febuary 2017. I also have the Kras mutation, so treatment has been difficult. I have had some sucess with other chemo coctails.
I finally ran out of treatments that were working, and was put on Lonsurf. I have will begin 4th month of it next week. I realise it might quit working at any time. But I just finished my scan this Monday, and was surprised to see the results. My scan showed all positive. All the mets had shrunk or were gone. I feel very good about this of course, because from what I had read, Lonsurf was not very effective. This is my last alternative, so I can only hope.
I am 81 yearsold and in reasonably good health, except for cancer. Also the side effects of Lonsurf have really not been that bad. Some of the usual chemo effects, but very toleralble at least for now. I thought the rest of the board might be interested in this treatment.
Hope I can continue to post good news.

So happy to hear your good news!!
It gives us all hope to hear of success when all of the other treatments stopped working. I have KRAS mutation too, oncologists never expressed much concern about it but I know it is not the best hting to have. Praying for continued good results for you!
