Tom:
Just for future reference, my wifes stage 4 was diagnosed while the two tumors (stomach and liver) were still only about 2cm in diameter. Her initial chemo consisted of Epirubicin, Cisplatin, and 5-FU (delivered via pump continously). This is the treatment that put her into remission with a complete response. Currently she is taking the Xeloda (started at 5000mg/day but had to reduce to 4000 (round two) and now 3000 round three AND oxaliplatin as a maintenance dose for 6 months. Then some testing and retesting - THEN if still clear may have to choose if she wants surgery???
