Hello all, I just had this testing done, and my oncologist didn't really cover it with me. I know the basic Kras, Braf, etc but the muts are a little confusing. Would any of you take a look at this and offer me you opinion? Thanks in advance https://www.keepandshare.com/doc11/29014/imflrxfxrxp1-2-ti...

I can share my mum’s experience and what I observed if that helps . Way back in 2009 my mum had a spread from segments 4 through to 8 . She had six cycles of chemo and a brilliant response. One tumour alone was 5 cm . She had a combined bowel resection and four wedge resections in her liver . After...

Hello all, I have 35 liver METS covering roughly 60% of my liver. The other 40% has just a few small ones that can be ablated. I am about 9 months out from doing 9 cycles of Folfox with a 40% reduction in growth. I currently am taking Xeloda as maintenance. My largest met is about 1.4cm, most are un...

Hello, havent updated my profile in a while, but started taking Xeloda about 2.5 months ago for maintenance after Folfox caused 40% shrinkage in my multiple liver tumors and a MRI showed them inactive or dead. I started taking 4000mg per day, Im 5'11 230lbs, I had no nausea whatsoever, developed one...

On this forum, most of the Y90 posts are found under the keyword "SIRT". (Please note that on this forum you cannot simply search for Y90 since the keyword "Y90" does not have the required minimum four characters. You have to search for SIRT instead.) Selective Internal Radiatio...

Its been a pretty wild 7 days. After my scans earlier in the month showed a 40% decrease in tumor size(35 tumors) my Oncologist suggested that I wouldbe eligible for a liver resection. This gave me a lot of hope as it changes the 5 year survival rate from 11% to aound 50%. I talked to my liver sugeo...

Looks like my oncologist was a little hopeful telling me I would probably qualify for a resection. The surgeon still didn't like the amount of liver I would have left so it was a no go. He suggested Y90, which I've been told before from a Interventional Radiologist that I would be a candidate. All o...

Thanks so much for the replies. Glad to see you're doing well.

Hello, Just finished 3 months of FOLFOX, and had about a 30-40% reduction in all of my tumors according to the latest MRI. My liver surgeon had said a reduction in size would probably qualify me for a resection. 60% of my liver carries 33 of the 35 tumor, with 2 small ones in the 40%. He talked abou...

Thank you all so much for you replies. I contacted Dr Mayo's office and talked to his knowledgeable scheduler about my situation. She said they usually wait to see how people respond to their first round or two of chemo before doing the pump, for response and for insurance purposes. Its makes comple...

Thank you all for your replies. I am MSI stable and am waiting for the latest biopsy to tell me if I'm still BRAF and KRAS wild(i think I have that right, if you are wild that mean you don't have it). I am on the west coast and will do some further research on locations that offer HAI.

Was diagnosed with Stage 3B after surgery on 7/19. They took a total of 48 nodes and only 1 was affected. Odds were 80% 5 year DFS with or without chemo, so I chose not to. Decided to change my diet to completely Vegan. My pre surgery CEA level was 1.2NL Had CT scans in August due to abdominal pains...

Like Beckster, I was on Xeloda for six months. I took 6,000 mg daily—two weeks on, one week off. Side effects included skin darkening, rashes, occasional fatigue, some dehydration, and elevated creatinine levels; I didn’t have any problems with diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. All in all, it was very...

Before my diagnosis, I was in great physical shape working out 5 days a weeks, and felt invincible. Its amazing how something like this changes your outlook on life and what is important.. Have to admit I broke down reading about your reaction to getting clean scans. The morning after my colonscopy ...

Hello all, I had an extended right hemicolectomy surgery was on 7/19. They had to convert to open due to the location of the tumor. I seem to be doing good other than a couple of issues. My surgeon doesn't seem to think they are any big deal, but I would very much like your opinions and experiences....
