Metastasized colon cancer: At a loss..what is next?

Hi! I was interested in the case of ablative radiation. My father also has metastasis from colorectal cancer, liver, he did radiofrequency in the liver and the needle caused more metastases in the fig and abdominal wall. The liver removed three weeks ago, now he will undergo low-radiation radiotherapy on the abdominal wall, but I am looking at radiosurgery in the lung. My father has 4 nodules. Two in each. Does your husband live well? Chemo gives my dad a lot of reaction. It does not decrease the nodules with the chemo.

Hi @lorenna, I'm sorry to hear that the chemo didn't reduce the lung nodules. Will he have to have abdominal wall radiation before he can have radiosurgery of the lungs? When does your father start radiotherapy of the abdominal wall?

My husband also has colon cancer with mets to both lungs. Chemo did not decrease his nodules and the side effects were rough also.
They sent us to cyberknife . He is having biopsy and they will place markers for the cyberknife. Have you heard of or tried it?
I have not heard of the ablative radiation. Is he having good days? Keep us posted xoxo
