Mets Unchanged?
Mets Unchanged?
So my mother had a ct scan earlier this week, and the two peri mets and lymph node are practically unchanged since the february ct scan. So, does that mean folfiri, which my mom had for the last twelve treatments, has run out of magic? We won't see the onc until next week. What would happen next? Any forum members had similar experiences?

Re: Mets Unchanged?
Meatie,
I am on a similar path. 15 months ago I had my liver respected and started on folfiri. In August the Mets spread to my lungs so avastin was added.
Ever since then, my scans have been "stable". So the oncologist keeps me on folfiri and avastin. My understanding is that the chemo is working to keep me stable. Perhaps that is what's going on with your mom.
Good luck.

Re: Mets Unchanged?
If they are unchanged, the folfiri is at least preventing growth.

I would have to agree with the above comments. Now, if they were growing, that would be a different story.
