Hi, stage 4 colorectal cancer here

After 12 cycles of 5fu my husband had nodules along cut (seeding) where the tumour was removed. This was followed by 6 cycles of folfiri and 3 of avastin. Pet CT showed mild FDG uptake over stoma reversal cut. A subsequent laprascopic investigation shows roughly twelve nodules below .5 cms along pelvis and peritoneum
Will further cycles of folfiri and avastin help? Six more are scheduled. Is there any other treatment that someone can suggest. We do not live in USA and cannot travel to mayo

Hi @colca, I moved your message to this discussion about Stage 4 Colon Cancer where you were already connecting with fellow members like @bea1972 @lunaluna10 @susan159 and others who have experience with chemotherapy.

It sounds like the additional cycles of Folfiri and Avastin helped. And your husband is scheduled to receive 6 more rounds. Correct? Are you concerned about continuing with the additional rounds because the side effects are tough?
