Well there is about ZERO possibility that you went 6 years with perfect blood work and scans and then liver mets grew in 2 1/2 MONTHS. This is all about CYA for the doctors. Hang in there kiddo! I'm really betting those 3 rounds of strong antibiotics messed up your liver enzymes. Did you also take Tylenol? I never, ever take Tylenol because of the damage it can do to your liver! Lots of meds can mess with your liver enzymes!
After 4 years, the chance of a met with colon cancer is about 1%. One study that followed only people (Stage III colon) who DID have recurrences found that 100% happened before year 4. 80% happened at 17 months, + or - 11 months or 6 months to 28 months.
I know it's easy for us to tell you to calm down..... so I'll pray that you can get some great news much sooner than next Monday!
