I have stage 3C colorectal cancer. After 12 cycle treatments, scans didn’t detect any so doctor ordered to remove the port. However the cancer came back 6 months later and they put a new port in again. Unfortunately Cancer has come back 3 times and have spread to lung, liver, last bone, and around stoma.
I have dealt with this bad boy over 4 years and just learned that there is no drugs/medications out there to treat my new cancer gene KRAS G12D. I’m on clinical trial with a new med. Hope it works for me.
You may want to have gene test to check whether your gene is good or changed to a new variant.
It seems you are way better than me.
Best good luck to you!

@minhthanhle Good to read that you are alive fighting your erratic cell groth issue. Genetic testing is a multi-million dollar enterprise ( e.g. Natera, Inc.) which is not cheap. How about $5,000 plus for every test result ? Most of the tests; even in healthy cancer free people show an abnormality for the doctor to address which can be depressing and relentless. Good Luck!
