You need a new Oncologist. My first Oncologist told me he would not talk to me about how long I would live, that I had BRAF mutation and no chemo or radiation would work for me. That was all This was just a year ago. I got my pathology report and started looking things up on CREDIBLE sites. I fired that Oncologist and found one that specializes in Colorectal cancer and has explained everything to me.
In just a year, there are now new clinical trials that look very promising for people with BRAF mutation, my Oncologist is very excited about these. Since my surgery a year ago, I am currently NED (no evidence of disease), but IF this crap does come back (metastasizes), then I feel I have a chance of beating this crap. Previously, people with BRAF mutation had a poor prognosis for 5 year survival.
I do not mean to scare you, but if your Oncologist is not worried about BRAF mutation, then please get a new one.
