Surgically speaking

Postby Mohrfamily » Tue Dec 11, 2018 3:09 pm

With a stage 4 diagnosis and significant metastasis to the liver what kind of a timeline does a person have for being able to do surgery I understand that every person is different in the way that they react to the chemo medicines that they're on and that everybody's on the same thing I'm just kind of looking for a generalization
DH dx stage IV liver mets largest 6x6.4 cm
Colonoscopy/endoscopy/port place 5/29
4cm mass in splenic flexure
1st round FolFox 5/30
08/2018 new CT no new lesions, clear lungs, slight decrease in colon.
3/2019 PET scan shows greater than 6-7 liver mets largest measuring 3x3 cm. No growth nothing new.
8/15/19 largest liver lesion 1.9x2.1
9/16/2019 OSU to proceed with surgery implant HAI and colon resection
11/19 resection of colon HAI placed
2/20 CEA back to 1000s, liver worse than when we began-start FOLFIRI

You know we never were given an accurate number of liver mets we just know its basically covered. My husband was disappointed it wasn't ready yet. The surgeon said he is between inoperable and changing up chemo meds. So we see a colon specialist next week about chemo and maybe discuss his colon. No one has mentioned it yet with the new scans
