I'm also considered inoperable due to blood vessel involvement. I've also been told I don't qualify for radiation due to flat lesions in my abdomen that the radiation wouldn't hit. But I'm still doing chemo--round 19 will be Tuesday. FWIW, at my appointment last Friday, my NP said she has several patients who are into their second year of chemo. My oncologist and I agree that I'll keep going on chemo until I decide to stop and/or the meds are less effective. I'm on modified Folfiri (we dropped oxaliplatin after round 8) at 60 percent of typical dose. Why did you decide to stop chemo? Can you restart? It's not the funnest thing (is that a word? ha!), but if it works and holds the cancer at bay, it might be worth resuming it.

The drs originally ordered 12 rounds of chemo. They’ve never spoken of continuing. They seem to think I’m in remission
