First scan post chemo is clean. Thank God.

Postby plastikos » Fri Jul 24, 2015 11:46 am

Hi guys. Have not posted in a while but I do look around here from time to time. Completed my course of chemo (FOLFOX & Erbitux) June 6th. Appetite is back to normal. My last liver MRI in March (while I was still doing chemo) showed no suspicious lesions. Just had a PET-CT scan last week which also showed no evidence of disease. Praying for the best possible outcome for everyone here.

11/2014 Right Hemicolectomy + Liver Resection
12/2014 - 6/2015 FOLFOX + Cetuximab
10/2015 - Recurrence liver
Liver resection 10/2015
FOLFIRI 11/2015 - 5/2016
Recurrence liver, nodes 11/2016

I'm just a dude who still can't believe he had a resection and went through chemo (currently 13 years NED). Is this real life?
