Hello all,
I wrote earlier this week about my son getting chemo for Stg. IIIA, colon cancer and some new liver spots found on a MRI. One of the spots the rad thinks is another hemangioma and the other one they weren't quite sure. So a PET scan was ordered and nothing lit up. I take that to be good news. The rad group is looking again at the undetermined spot to see what it might be. I'm not sure how they can tell what it is just by looking at a scan???
My son is having neuropathy from fingertips to the 2nd knuckle and a little on the tips of his toes. Onco wants to watch that because it can be permanent. My son told her that he's more interested in killing any cancer cells. Those of you who have had neuropathy-- did it fade or go away completly? He has 4 more treatments of FOLFOX to go and then he'll be done.
What are your thoughts of immune specific therapy for CRC? Are there some cancers it works for and some it doesn't? My son's tumor showed no genetic mutations.
Thank you.
