Yes, it was 2024, my typo. He did not have chemo prior because MSK felt it was a very small tumor and they could get it all with surgery. The surgeon at that point came into the room and stated he got it all. His issues after surgery were anastomotic leak and a hole in his stomach conduit. It eventually caused a fistula into his right lung. Believe me, if it could go wrong, it went wrong for my husband. He was being prepared for a Colonic Interposition last week to be performed on November 5. While being worked up, the CAT SCAN and PET scan showed activity in his liver. He is going for a biopsy today with the hopes that they can find a chemo that would be effective. He has lost 55 lbs. and has not eaten in 9 months.
