I'm 4 years since dx. Most recent surgery in NY (april) for removal of residual colon tumor and liver pump-did not go as planned they found 3 peritoneal spots -in June developed hip pain- though it was due to positioning-turns out its bone mets (who gets bone mets from colon cancer???) --anyway
Oncologist thought we should go for a trial-seems belief is to attack what we can now vs waiting until we are desperate (basically my thought was he felt all was lost) so
got selected but suddenly depressed at thought of no chemo (until or if trial fails) and using new MD's
on top of that now an issue with getting into trial due to increased blood pressure (still on Avastin so likely main cause) though I am prob the only overweight person with cancer in this world (I thought 2 colon resections and chemo would surely end the battle with my weight)
this constant yo-yo of change -no change is wearing me down-going for repeat blood pressure in AM--finger crossed and prayers
