Great news Esperanca! My mom has been on same treatment as you and she has her PET tomorrow, after 6 month (12 cycles) of the treatment. So far her earleir scans showed stable disease but I am praying that now with cumulative effect of the treatment the liver lesions are GONE!!! You are a source of inspiration. Have you heard of something called IP6 and Inositol? They are supposed to be good at eating up liver cancer cells? Also Maitake mushroom supplement? I am thinking of getting her to try these. The good news is, it appears as though soon this cancer can be managed as a chronic illness like any other, with so many drugs out there. One is hearing more and more success stories. Good luck going forward. God Bless.

That is wonderful news. I am so happy for you. You also made my day because that is the same treatment my husband is on now. Gives us some good hope that this is the "wonder drug" that everyone is praying for. Take care and keep us posted Bren

Thank you so very much for sharing your story. It definitely gives me hope. I have stage IV colon cancer also, with mets to the abdominal wall. So far no mets to liver or lungs, although my oncologist says that this will be inevitable in time. I am in Canada and Avastin is not available here yet; probably not till spring. My oncologist has already talked about putting me on this when it is available here. Your story is amazing; I'm sure you're going to be giving lots of people the hope they are looking for. You must be SOOOOOO happy!!! What an incredible, inspirational story. Keep up the great work! Jen

Hello, I agree that was such an inspirational story. Your message post caught my attention ... I have stage IV colon cancer also with mets to abdominal wall but not in my liver / lungs at this time. I have been taking IP6 & Inositol since February, and also Maitake Gold Fraction (manufactured by Natural Factors - both products) Yes, they are fabulous products and were highly recommended by a doctor that I see. He is a traditional MD but is not practising Complimentary Healing Arts. He was very impressed that I was taking both these things even before I started seeing him. He says I'm "right on top" of this whole thing. I emailed the doctor in Baltimore who came up with the IP6 & Inositol formula and he told me that for active cancer you need to take 8 caps 2x per day on an empty stomach. That's exactly what I do. Also, with the Maitake Gold, I take the liquid. When I was on chemo (am currently on a chemo break) my white blood counts were higher than everyone else's on chemo. That's what the chemo nurses always told me. I attribute that to both the Maitake Gold and IP6 & Inositol. They both give me a lot of hope. For more information on IP6 & Inositol, go to Inocell.com. There are testimonials on this site and also wonderful books you can buy that will give you great hope. Let me know if you have any questions. Are you in Canada or somewhere else? Jen

How wonderful to hear your fantastic news. I have stage 3 colon cancer and am currently on a Roche drug trial of Xelox (capecitbaine and oxaliplatin) with Avastin. SO far so good ... no mets, just had a scan last week. It's wonderful to hear about the Avastin success stories and thanks for the ideas about other treatments. MaryM

Does anybody have any success story with Oxaliplatin chemo? My fatehr was on cp-11 and Xzloda,(he was not allowed to be on Avastin) but it didn't work for him. He still has the mets in the liver and growing, the Dr. wants to try the Oxaliplatin but I am not sure about the side affects. He is taking IP6 and CoQ10 and other alternatives but I need to hear any good news, please help.

Hi Hanna, Sorry I don't know anything about that chemo, but am just wondering ... is your father taking the IP6 & Inositol, or the IP6 alone? How much is he taking? The recommended dose for active cancer is 8 capsules 2x per day on an empty stomach. I know quite a bit about the IP6 & Inositol... please let me know how much he has been taking, and for how long? Jen

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU! My father also had stage 4 colon cancer with liver mets....first doctor said to get affairs in order....then we got positive doctors...after 6 months on 5FU, leucavorin and avastin, his beast also shrunk...he had liver and colon resection at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center with Dr. David Geller (AMAZING) and Dr. Wolfgang Schraut (also great!)- they got all of the cancer OUT! He is doing follow up chemo to clean him for sure but has an end in sight for that as well. POSITIVE attitudes all around are KEY! GREAT communicative doctors are great and research and sharing info through boards like this make all the difference....so BELIEVE US no matter WHAT they tell you....if you have the right attitude, doctors, and medicine, you too can lick this!

Hi, Hanna5, I was on Oxaliplatin from April until July along with 5FU and Avastin. In July, I suffered what is known as "foot drop" (neuropathy) and my doctor took me off it immediately. Since then, the foot has returned to normal but my feet and hands are numb. The doctor advised it sometimes takes a year to go away (and sometimes it never does). I say it's a small price to pay for remission, which I have been in since July. Good luck with your dad. Jill
