Ashlee's Scan Report - Not good

Postby Ashlee H. » Wed Oct 02, 2013 6:42 pm

I haven't seen the actual report yet...but my ONC called with the scan results. The lymph nodes are back, along with 5 good sized lesions in the liver and a little something in the lung. All this growth in only 4 months. Plan is to go back on FOLFIRI + Avastin. If I ask, he always gives me his honest opinion, and he doesn't think I'll be around next Christmas. So, I'll do chemo for awhile longer, then quit work and just deal with the final phase. Surgery is not an option, but I know how that can always change. I expected bad news, just not so many lesions.

Ashlee, I am sorry to hear about your report. Any chance of radiation or some other treatment on the liver? That appears the most urgent. I wish you the best.
