Well, the bad news is that a pet scan detected some new crap in the lyphnodes adjacent to the liver. Pretty much rules out our plan of another y90 procedure in the liver + resection of the colon tumor to kill everything visible and give me 6-12 months off chemo. Doctor basically told me the y90 won't kill the lyphnode crap so cancer will "come back" fairly quickly without maintenance.
I have a trip to Asia coming up next year so I communicated to him that the biggest quality of life issue I face is my colostomy and how it's uncomfortable to travel more than 20 minutes from my hotel because you just never know if the appliance is going to come loose (happened probably 6 times over 6 weeks in Europe including on back to back days at the Louvre). Seems he listened because the surgeon's office calls me today to set up the consult for a resection/colostomy reversal and they have scheduled me a slot next week if I decide to do it after the consult. It's about the best news I've had in a year and a half. Almost scared to be excited.
In other news, I might be joining you fellas at MD anderson every 14 days for a trial drug related to a fairly rare gene protein fusion I have (about 0.2% of all cancers from my research).
