@tgoz, that's tough news to hear from your oncologist. You could phone Mayo Clinic clinical trials to see if there is a match for which you are eligible.

Mayo Clinic Clinical Trials

Cancer-related clinical studies questions
Phone: 855-776-0015 (toll-free). This number is answered from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday.

Your current treatment of encorafenib and panitumumab which reduced your CEA from 178 to 5 sounds like the combination is working well for you. Are you continuing with this treatment? How are you doing?

Colleen,
Recently, I've started to become resistant to the current combo, a recent CT scan now shows measurable cancer. I have checked on clinical trials and have been cleared for one that is located about an hour from me. It is a PIPAC trial at Northwell in NY. This trial did not require measurable scans because the actually look at the tumors during the treatment. I also apparently qualify for a trial with Dr Van Morris at MD Anderson that adds immunotherapy to my current combo. I will keep updating my treatments so others may benefit from my experience.
I would also be grateful to hear from anyone that has gone through these trials
Tim
