MelindaHi Elaine,
So happy to hear of your upcoming surgery!! Thank you for keeping us posted and I am looking forward to hearing more great updates! Enjoy the time with your twins, and I know how it feels to be there that last week of school, so important to the kids. Take care!
MelindaDear Andy,
I want to commend you for reaching out to help others. You first reached out to me in February, and I remember so vividly how scared, overwhelmed and desperate you were for answers and help in this situation, as so many of us are. I remember telling you that I was happy to talk and help in anyway I can because I remember how hard and overwhelming it was for me and my family in the beginning. I wanted to pay it forward, and I see that you want to help others as well.
I have seen first hand the benefits of this discussion board, benefits of making connections with other survivors, patients and care givers. There is such strength in numbers. We are a part of a family that is connected in ways only we can understand.
Andy, I am so proud of you for reaching out to others both to receive help and now to give help! There is healing in helping others. Thank you so much for wanting to share your knowledge. All my best to you and Sarah, you are always in my prayers!
MelindaDear Only One,
I am hoping your visit to Mayo in AZ will open more doors for your father. I can see you are leaving no stone unturned, and that you are an amazing daughter! Please know that I will be keeping you and your father in my thoughts and prayers.

MelindaDear sweet Amanda,

MelindaHi Adam,
Welcome to the site, and I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s diagnosis. I am glad you found us and I am sure others will be along real soon to comment on your questions.
I am not able to chime in on the aspect of the CEA increase, as I never had an increase in my CEA. As for a second resection, it has been know to happen for some when the cancer is still contained to the liver. Typically if the cancer has spread to distant organs such as the lungs, another resection is usually not performed. I also don’t have experience with radiation but if you use the search button above it gives several posts of radiation and resections posts.
I know others will have more to add, but please keep us posted on your mother’s progress and know we all are here for support! Take care!
MelindaH Tze,
I am happy to hear your wife is getting better and recovery is going well. I am not able to give you any advice on whether to do chemo or not……maybe a 3rd opinion would be in order since you have two different suggestions. Hoping everything continues to go well and please keep us informed on how your wife is doing. Take care!
Melinda
