So as has been true of every step along the way so far, the radiologist punted bad news to the onc. It turns out that I have 6 liver mets; 3 on right lobe, 3 on left. I got redirected to a surgical oncologist who is getting an additional MRI to use as a baseline for a future resection and/or ablation after chemo.

At my last appointment, my onc offered both as viable options but that FOLFOX had more data behind it overall because it's been around longer. He also implied that Xeloda might have more side effects for caucasians (?). With that data I went with option #1, but now I'm wondering. Perhaps this is better as a separate post?
