My mom (who had mets) just had her second clean PET scan (the last one was in May). She was doing FOLFIRI + Avastin between March and early September.
Her CEA has dropped to 3.6, which is still borderline. Now, we've been given the option of doing Xeloda and Avastin indefinitely as maintenance every three weeks. Has anyone tried/researched this protocol?
CAPOX had earlier caused her blood counts to drop (in Dec 17), and we had to suspend the last cycle of Xeloda.
Btw, she's close to 60 now, and is in excellent health and spirit.
