Our trials for alternative adjuncts' performance were faster, mostly around broad, sensitive blood work for us.
Some tissue work. Nonperformance has to be factored in, how to recognize it, and what to do about it soonest.
CEA may not be sensitive enough for your situation, alone (needs more series data at least for "noise" scatter) - my wife on her cancer treatment and low, baseline CEA had less CEA scatter than I do. Signal (meaningful CEA changes) to CEA noise ratio is important for detection and more informed decisions amongst blood panels. She had a lot of ant-inflammatories, from oral supplements to celecoxib and 1/4 aspirin to IVC. Imaging factors into the bloodwork too.
We would have rated your Tippens' protocol at least "insufficient" on the individual level and try to find another combination soonest, with or without the Tippens part.
Our alternative starting point after 8 yrs chemo is essentially chronomodulated oral 5FU chemo prodrugs, potent nutraceuticals, and celecoxib, then consider add-ons and observe responses across 6-12 blood panels for the cancer, and more for side effects, or side benefits. I am very impressed with 5FU compounds, in the right formulations, against most but not all CRC disease.
The thing is that -azole dewormers tend to be very harsh to combine with 5FU drugs, but not all dewormers are azoles (e.g. like IVM).
To us, the trick is to get enough punch to kill/damage/dissolve smaller mets, stop spread, and get advanced surgeries as necessary. In your case, the German laser lung treatment might be important to consider with better chemo. Conventional cyclic chemo treatments are too toxic for continuous treatment and most continuous regimes are too low powered without add-ons and changes. The add-ons are best targeted by some prior measurement, or observed for performance, or both.
watchful, active researcher and caregiver for stage IVb/c CC. surgeries 4/10 sigmoid etc & 5/11 para-aortic LN cluster; 8 yrs immuno-Chemo for mCRC; now no chemo
most of 2010 Life Extension recommendations and possibilities + more, some (much) higher, peaking ~2011-12, taper chemo to almost nothing mid 2018, IV C-->2021. Now supplements
