6 year mark

Postby Mattie » Mon Apr 04, 2016 11:34 pm

Just checking in on the board. Icesk8tr passing has shook me to the my core. so sad, we were both diagnosed around the same time.

I'm out of remission, five lymph things starting to glow, possible bone met on 8th rib. Going back to xeloda and avastin to see if it will control it. We will see.

feeling pretty low, but trying to move forward. What else can we do?
4/10 debulk surgery, DX stage IVb, 49yo
5/10-11/11 Folfox, then Xeloda/Avastin
4/13 Resect liver met + pelvic node, 20+ Rad treatments
7/14 SBRT 15 mm Liver & node
12/14 SBRT 8 mm Liver met
3/16 4-5 pelvic nodes, Xeloda/Avastin again
12/16 NED, maintaining Xeloda/Avastin
8/17 NED Dropping Xeloda. Avastin only.
3/21 NED Avastin only
10/21 Pausing Avastin Proteinuria/BP complications
12/21 Resect 4.4 x 3.6 cm lower abdominal met
