Tom, Thanks for your comment to me about continued doublet therapy - I tend to strongly agree - although sure hate the side effects of hot flashes and fatigue, but fear new mets even more. Curious your oncologist is waiting until January for MRI if there are already some "maybes" about the vertabra and ribs. I might push for sooner scans unless there is good reason to wait...such as? Best to you.

Richard, my oncologist believes the growing CEA count is the greater concern, so we're doing the endoscopy first. The areas in the vertebrae and lung are so small he doesn't think it's a problem to wait until January for the mri, which is when I have my next Lupron shot, blood work and medical appointments.
