Thanks all for the kind words and most importantly.......prayers. Yesterday, I kinda did feel defeated. I look at all the chemo that has been dumped into my body and yet a new cancerous area has started growing. It just seems like for every step forward, I am taking one back.
I look at the toll this is taking on my wife and seeing her in mental pain and with a broken heart is HARD for me to fathom. I can only imagine what she is going through.
This journey has been filled with ups and downs. Yesterday we received news that I now have cancer in my colon again. But we did get some good news.....my lung mets are shrinking and my liver is still stable. So you may ask what this means?
I will know more sometime next week. From what I understand I will be facing another colon resection. My Onc is going to touch base with the Directory of GI/Oncology at Chapel-Hill. This Doc just left the Mayo Clinic to start in North Carolina. I will have to wait approx 8 weeks for the chemo to be out of my body.
I am also going to push to have my liver partially resected to remove one of the tumors and RFA on the remaining 4. Once successful, we will just be dealing with lung mets.
I will more than likely have this surgery in Chapel-Hill, about 4 hrs from home.
As soon as I talk to the doc, I will let you all know what the plan is.....
