Hi @anindita, that is hard news to hear that the cancer has spread to your father's liver after chemo and surgery. I'm tagging a few members like @asingh90 @ro0891 @kathy2000 who have this experience with their family member.

Anindita, has further chemo been suggested for you father? What chemo combination has been recommended?

Hi @anindita

Our stage IV diagnosis was in Nov 2022. We have transitioned to a fully organic clean diet, sugars that do not affect blood sugar. Monk fruit sugar is now a staple in our home. We are working with an Integrative Health and Cancer coach in addition to chemotherapy. My husband said he no longer eats what his mind wants…he eats what his gut needs. He feels great and is able to excercise and do everything he once did.

Our journey started with folforinox (9 cycles), then folfiri due to neuropathy, capiri was started due to 5-FU shortage. Although he is feeling great the CA19-9 started to creep up and CT confirmed some growth in liver and lung. After 24 rounds we will begin gem/abraxane next week.

We also incorporate meditation, infrared sauna therapy.

We are trying it all!

Blessings @kathy2000
