@wku, I hope you saw the helpful posts from fellow colorectal cancer members. How are you doing now? Have you had the next infusion?

@colleenyoung The Folxfox regimen has done a number on my red blood cell count (in addition to cold sensitivity in my hands). So much so that they’ve cut my oxilplatin back by 20%. As a result my CEA numbers have once again begun to rise.
This week I’ve received word that I may be accepted into a clinical trial involving an immunotherapy drug. I’ve got my fingers crossed

@colleenyoung I had a PET/MRI this week. It indicates that the activity in the lymph nodes has decreased substantially but the three liver tumors remain active. My CEA numbers have dropped a little. Next Folfox is next Tuesday. I’m currently awaiting word on whether I’ll qualify for a clinical trial using ARTO380. Not sure if I will qualify but fingers are crossed.
Recovery from Folfox seems to take up to 7-8 days. Leaves about 6 before you start over. Sure hope they develop a magic bullet.
