I was diagnosed with Stage III Colon Cancer in 2008. I did my 6 mnth chemo therapy. At my first check up with my oncologist it was discovered that my cancer was still there and had spread to different organs also called metastatic cancer. Im currently trying to find out different options and want to hear from those that are currently going through this same situation. Im still waiting to hear from the doctors to see what my options will be. Im looking to hear from somone, am I alone on this ???? Please help me get through this !!!

Posted by admin on May 15th, 2011
Sort of like how blood is typed and screened. If a patient knew how their cells reacted to a specific regimen, it would save time going down a long list of chemotherapies. If a sample is taken and tested before chemo is scheduled to start, a patient could go right to that specific drug match and benefit. My mother has breast cancer and is on her 3rd drug combo. We keep going down a list of compatible drugs for her cancer type not knowing which will be a good long term match for her.
