Hi, stage 4 colorectal cancer here

This is my 1st time posting here and I'm not really sure of how things work. But like Michele I was diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer in June. My liver has so many large tumors that it is inoperable at the moment. I've had 4 treatments of Folfox, then I was unable to have chemo for 6 weeks because of low white counts. Last week I finally started up again and they added Avastin to the chemo mix, followed by Neulasta to bring up my WBC counts. I don't really understand how to "connect" with people like Michele but I'm interested in hearing about others' experiences and maybe learning useful tips on how to deal with all of this. So I thought I'd post this and see what happenens. Thanks for listening. Sue

Hi, Sue. You posted exactly right and in the right place to connect with other members living with metastatic colon cancer like @margreet @wifemom3 @lisag03 @fiona007. I'm adding their usernames to my message to make sure they see your post and join me in saying "Welcome".

I bet it was disappointing to have to pause chemo for 6 weeks while you waited for your white blood cell count to recover. I'm glad you're back on track for the time being and getting Neulasta to help encourage the white blood cell production. How did your chemo treatment go last week?
