Quick update. DH had his control scan on Tuesday and met with the onc today. All clear! Huge relief, now we can continue with our lives for another 3 months, until the next bout of scanxiety. His right quadriceps is still only about 20-25% of normal, but he’s making progress, with PT twice a week. H...

Have been following your and your husband's fight over the months. I am so very sorry it has ended. I hope that you are surrounded with friends and relatives to help you through what has to be a really, really hard transition.

I haven't been here much lately and popping in quickly, I see posts that sadden me greatly. I am so sorry about your loss, Jep. There are no words... Like Stu said, I hope that you are surrounded by loved ones in this so very difficult moment.

Welcome to the forum, Paradise2020. I hope you will find here answers to your questions and support while you and your husband are going through these difficult times. You can edit your signature by going to the user control pannel (drop-down from your name in the upper right corner), the clicking t...

Welcome to the forum no one ever wants to join, Thea. I hope you will find here answers to your questions, and support in difficult times - a lot of us have! Getting such a diagnosis is incredibly distressing, but cancer - even metastatic CRC - isn’t the death sentence it once was. Especially when m...

As much as I’m a strong believer that diet plays an important role, I think there’s a limit to what we can do. I still do believe we need to eat healthy in general, but I think we need to live a little and not obsess over every single thing we eat on top of the already stressful and miserable cance...

I love it when survivors come back to share their story. Thank you for giving us hope xxxxx

Please let us know what he’s got to say about it! My husband is off chemo for now but as much as I wish it were forever, I doubt it’s going to be the case... And since he’s KRAS mutated and has had good results with Folfiri and Avastin, I’m keeping a close eye on the onvansertib trial.

Welcome to the forum, Olha. I hope it provides support, comfort and answers. There’s no « recipe »... It’s a steep learning curve, so much thrown at you suddenly, new medical terms, your life doing a 180. A friend described it this way - cancer is like a balloon that will take over your entire horiz...

My husband had multiple tiny lung mets on both sides and Folfiri + Avastin took care of them - so far.
Wishing your sister the best of luck!

Johnj, since you are KRAS mutated, has your oncologist mentioned Onvansertib? It’s new but fast tracked in the trials so I think oncologists can request it. It’s given in complement to Folfiri and Avastin and is specifically for KRAS MSS patients, and quite promising. Another weapon in the arsenal, ...

Interesting. I hadn't heard of it for neuropathy before. I'll get some for my husband, thanks benben!

Welcome to the forum Paradise2020, although I am sure you'd rather never have had to visit, like all of us here. But you will hopefully find it a great source of information and comfort. One quick word of caution regarding oxaliplatin - it tends to cause peripheral neuropathy; we were not aware of h...

Yay

Hoping for a clear scan, Marie25, keep us posted! The waiting part is the worst!
