Just wanted to give everyone an update. Back to Chemo on March 17th, Folfiri, same as before. CEA went from 21 to 50 on my next 3 week appointment. Did a Pet Scan and shows basically same thing as of May 2020 when I did my last pet scan, the CT Scans in between didn't show anything. Oncologist didn't seem to concern as no new cancer in any organs, other then local recurrence (same one since the get go) and some lymph node involvements. He said we just have to go back 4-6 rounds of folfiri beat it back down and go from there.
I guess this is my life, but hoping for a miracle remission....I guess I will lose some weight on the positive note LOL....It does suck doing kick my ass chemo again, but meh at this point I don't know what to expect anymore.
Staying positive and strong.
Best Regards,
