Aww, thanks for the concern guys, I'm touched. Ive been lurking but haven't felt up to posting much.

I've been doing a full re-staging this week and last and was supposed to talk to my team today about the detailed plan ahead but, of course, the people who had promised to talk to each other, haven't. Tumor board meeting Wednesday so more news (hopefully) on Thurs. The news appears to be trending towards being neither shockingly bad nor particularly good, so more plodding on.

Generally I'm still feeling pretty crappy and low in energy but a lot better than two weeks ago.

I'll update when I know more.

Our friend Pog posted some bad news in the mCRC IV ongoing thread; copying it here, because many may miss it -and I don't want to intrude in that thread.
Very sorry to read this, my friend : (

I'll post it here rather than the main board.

I won't re-run the details, but before Xmas I had significant rectal bleeding. Tests showed that my second dose of radiation had nuked everything and left behind a massive inflammation, within which tumor cells could still be detected. In other news, the mass on my liver got significantly less, but the stable-for-two-years things on my lungs grew slightly.

The plan was to set a colonostomy or ileostomy to stop stool running through thei inflammation and give it a chance to heal. As a result of renewed bleeding on Friday, I took myself off to the hospital and they pulled the op forward to yesterday.

Now I've been hit by a CRC classic - They opened me up and almost couldn't find enough small bowel to build an ileostomy, let alone a colostomy, because everything was "just one big lump" due to peritoneal metatastasis. F#%k.

I'm recovering from the op ok, the ileo seems to be working well, tomorrow is tumor board so I'll guess I'll know then if any more treatment makes any sense. My gut feeling is no - I'd rather try and spend a few good weeks with the family than a couple of months on the couch with chemo side effects. It doesn't look like I'm going to make 50 though (in June).

I've always known this disease can go nasty quickly, but it's another thing when it happens to you. My poor family, My 5-year old obviously knows I'm sick, but not how bad. Goodness only knows how and what we are going to tell her.

I have heard some very sad news about dear Pog
I don't feel like he would mind me sharing with you as he is obviously cared about here.

The news is grim. Apparently he is going thru one horrid emergency after another and is not in a very fighting frame of mind right now. This breaks my heart as I'm sure it will you all as well.

Maybe he'll feel up to posting soon.

Pog....so sorry...
