Thanks for feedback. It’s nice to hear from everyone.

I’m now fully recovered from my failed liver resection. Over the holidays I had another scan and I continue to be stable so I’m happy about that. I got my CA19-9 tested and I’m at 28. So within the normal range (they told me < 35 was the normal range). I also found out that my CA19-9 was around 2300 when I was first diagnosed. I’m going to start Chemo again in a couple of weeks. I’ve been off now for almost 6 months without any form of treatment. My doctors seem to be questioning my diagnosis a little [does this mean I have to leave the group ] On one hand they are confident because it responded well to treatment but on the other its not normal for it to respond this well or stay stable this long. I’m going to do another colonoscopy just to make sure there aren’t any signs of colon cancer.

Catherine the only other targeted therapy that we’ve really discussed is radiation. My understanding is that historically it wasn’t done on the liver but that they are making progress in this area. They don’t do this at my home facility but I am exploring this option at another center (where I had my surgery).
