Hello.
Jim L is done all 12 rounds of Folfox chemo! Yeah and finally. Now we need to wait six weeks (mid Feb) until a CT scan can be done. Once that is done then we meet with his Oncologist (Dr Gordon) and Oncology Surgeon (Dr Sardi). Hopefully the scan will be clean (no cancer present) like his last CT scan done in May 2005. Since his MOAS in April 2005, Dr Sardi has switched hospitals. He's now at Mercy Medical (still in Baltimore). So we're following Dr Sardi to Mercy Medical.
If the CT scan is clear, then he only needs to have CT scans performed every six months for a while, then every year for the rest of his life. A nusiance, but better than still having cancer. Considering his tumor markers were low before the surgery and have stayed low, I'm really hoping that we've kicked his cancer out early and don't need to worry about a reoccurance (which unfortunately is typical with this kind of cancer). So every CT scan will cause anxiety for both of us....
I'll update this site again after we've met with Dr Gordon and Dr Sardi.
