Lung Mets - experience?
I was diagnosed March ‘25, stage IV, liver, lung, bone mets at 37 years old. I did 6 months of folfoxiri - to shrink enough to be eligible for surgery. Eventually I was. Did radiation to the bone met - that has stayed sterilized since and no other bone mets have popped up. I had my surgery back in October to remove 40% of my liver and my primary tumor and have had three!! clear scans in my pelvis and liver. After surgery I did 6 more rounds of chemo. The lung spots are hanging on for dear life and never really did much during chemo other than stayed stable. I am not eligible for surgery , but the nodules are scattered and very small - 2 of size enough to mention (8mm and 5mm). Has anyone had a similar experience? I want to get rid of these with all of my being but am feeling a bit defeated after discussing my last scan results with my oncologist. I took a break to reverse my ileostomy and they grew a bit while I was off of treatment. I have young kids and I just need some hope. I feel so close but so far. I’ve come so far for this to be how my life just continues and eventually ends. Mother father!!!!!! I will be staring back on folfiri to keep it stable. Does anyone have a similar experience, or things they’ve done that worked?
