Hi Clau1117!
Sounds like we are on similar timelines. I am sorry it has progressed so far so fast in you. Mine also was not caught on scans and I was having them every 6 weeks to monitor but they didn’t go low enough in the pelvic region. I ended Folfox in February of 24 and started folfiri in December. I found that this time around carrying the ball and chain is no big deal when comparing it to the time it will buy me with my son. The hair loss is hitting me the hardest. You have to do what’s best for you. But I would go aggressive. They will be adding avastin (bevacizumab) to the folfiri which kills the blood supply to the cancer while the folfiri tries to kill it. No timeline for ending treatment this go round. I am buckled in for a long haul 🙂 I pray you have a huge loving support system at home and I will pray for you! God bless and stay strong! Was it right side or left side for you original crc? Mine was on the right…

Hello !
The pain is on my left side, and it has been getting worse over the past few months; after my regular check-ups, I used to tell my husband, "At least I know this pain is not cancerous."
In 15 days, I will receive Vectivix, which looks a bit rough, but I will keep you posted.
My best wishes are with you as you embark on your journey, and I pray that you and your son have a very long life together.

Warm regards,
