Hello everyone just wondering what is your experience with treatment and any survivors that are cancer free.
Currently I have been fighting stage IV.
The cancer had spread to my liver. So i had 4 rounds of chemo at first and erbitux i broke out badly with i mean horrible it was on my face arms back neck and little on my belly it was huge. My tumor on my liver was 3cm at first and then after 4 rounds shrunk to 2cm.
No mutation on my tumor and it does not run in my family in fact i am the first on both sides my grandma who is 90 years old does have skin cancer but shes been like that for a few years.
I have had two surgeries. One surgery is Liver my first they removed 25% of my liver. Right love of my liver to be exact. It was successful doctor was super happy with the results he said the rest look perfect and pathology reported the little extra they took was cancer free.
After that i got radiation and chemo pills for i think month and a half somewere around there i think.
Next up was my colon surgery. My doctor used a robot to remove it and i think she remove 14cm of the colon sorry im on chemo now and cant think that well sometimes.
The report came back and they removed 14 lymph nodes also. All lymph nodes came negative for cancer she was super happy for that. Now i poop out of a bag. Currently taking oxyloplatin once a month and chemo pills 4000mg for 21 days and one week break. I have to do this for four months. after that a ct scan and pet scan and i pray i am cancer free. Just wondering if anyone has had a close regiment and been cancer free with no recurrence. Chemo is though but i am pushing through. How do you guys stay positive during the whole process?
Thanks everyone
