My DH (62) was diagnosed with stage IV Colon Cancer ( in liver and lung ) and began chemo treatment on June 2, 2020 with 5fu and oxi, avastin, fluorouracil, . Please forgive me because i don't know how to add the information that you all have on the bottom of your responses.
When he started his CEA was 5.7 and now after his 5th of 6th treatments it is a 3.1. His CA 19-9 was 50 when he started and is now 27. He will be getting a CT scan after his 6th treatment of chemo and then we meet the doctor and he'll tell us what the next step is. More chemo? Whatever? Not sure what to expect.
It looks like these numbers are good and his treatment is working? Does this mean that a lot of the cancer has gone away? During and after his 5th treatment last week he's had no side effects at all and feels great. We're so happy and amazed. After earlier treatments he's experienced stomach pain and throwing up.
Thanks for listening and appreciate any thoughts you all may have.
