  My husband had part of his colon and liver removed at the same time in May 2011, had 6 rounds of chemo before the surgery and 6 rounds after, was NED for 6 months, than one spot was found on his lung.

  I know that my husband is KRAS positive. I am wandering if it has anything to do with pikc3ma. Our oncologist is experienced and, like I said earlier is always consulting with other oncologists from different big cancer centers, he forwards me all the responces he gets, so I can read it myself. However, thank you for this info, I will definatelly ask our doctor what he thinks about this maintanence therapy.

  My husband is on aspirin. In terms of maintanance, our doctor was talking about it, also he always consult with other oncologists, he is the kind of doctor who doesn't think that he knows everything at all, and we respect him for that. He said that for colon cancer there is no proven maintanance exists.......what you are saying is on option, but there is no sientific prove that it works, again, for this particular ca...

Thus, he had 2 rounds of chemo 6 months each. Now, accordin...

  My husband was lucky enough not to loose much weight. He was always a little overweight though, so it was even a good thing for him to loose a few pounds. He did have some diarrhea, but only for a couple of days, usually on days 9 through 12 post chemo, so it was preatty tolerable. He did have severe weakness and nausea almost all the time, but he is a very strong guy, so he was even able to work for a few ...
