The CT scan from this week showed a small increase in liver mets and lung. Erbitux and Irenotecan was the treatment for 3 months prior to the scan. Previously Folfox 4 for 1 year-Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin, including Avastin for 6 months during that time.
After the scan results, the Onocologist elected to use the Folfox 4 regimen with Avastin, keeping Erbitux in the treatment. In the interim, medical records will be forwarded to to Mayo Clinic in order to concur with their opinions.
Moving forward, staying focused on the things which can be done for my body physically and nutritionally, in addition to exploring different treatment options is essential. Anyone who says that this is a "very aggressive disease; feel fortunate that we have been able to fight it for this long-April 2005" is a response that is not good enough.
Thank you Kevin for your previous response. Hope everyone else is FIGHTING this @*#!&%? and doing well.
