We found out about my mum’s lung met seven years after diagnosis. It had been visible at 2mm two years before but then started doubling in value ! Some people here traveled to Dr Drew’s in Germany for laser surgery on lung mets . Their posts should still be here if you use the search function . Just...

All the very best with your surgery and hope for an excellent recovery .

My mum hardly makes any but always doubled on Chemo ,
Scans were always significant shrinkage .
I hope it’s a good scan .

Excellent news . Long may it continue .
Always great to hear good news .
Enjoy ,

That’s quite incredible I’m so many ways ! It’s shown it’s face now ! My mum’s was nearly missed and it was actually the junior Dr who noticed it just as they were withdrawing the scope and they went back to the area .

Great to see your name pop up !
Keep pressing on !

Hi , So sorry to hear your brother and your family are having to face more difficult news and face further treatment . Hopefully a good treatment plan will assist in pulling this back under control . Getting a second opinion can also be very helpful in seeking out the best possible approach for him ...

Claudine, My mum is now doing research into long term survival. They are looking at her tumour samples to see if she possesses some form of protein. Something to do with natural killing T cells ! Apparently boosted by exercise , music therapy etc . I have no idea regarding the science but my mum was...

Hope things are still going in a good direction in your recovery !
Take care ,

Hi, Hopefully they will be able to get onto the uptake issue in the colon . I know you have been concerned for sometime about the higher CEA and sounds as though you have been correct . However the benefit of this is quick intervention and resolution. As much as I hated my mum requiring more surgery...
