All finished with the chemo. For just under a year I did 16 rounds of folfox 7 with avastian, 2 months off because on laporscocip look at my liver and then 6 rounds of the same again but irinticon spelling is off I know who cares. We all know what we are talking about. Last 2 scans said that all organs are clear and liver is unremarkable. I feel very good. A little constapation some times but very manageable. CEA is @ 1.6. I have no trouble eating. In fact at times I eat too much. My next scan is set for May 15 and then my liver surgeon will meet with me again soon after. Iam always praying for all of us as we fight on. I hope everyone is staying as well as can be.      Tom

    Way to go, Tom

    This is good news.  Put it all behind you - no pun intended. 

    You have done very well, and seem to have handled the chemo like a pro.  

    Enjoy every single day your alive - and don't desert us.

    Great to hear, Tom! When I

    Great to hear, Tom! When I finished my chemo, I took a Vegas trip to celebrate, wanting all that good food as well as the other stuff. I'm sorry that option isn't currently available, but do find something to treat yourself to, you certainly have earned some fun.................................................................Dave
