My wife got dx stage IV CRC

That’s it.

She got diagnosed with a stage 4 right side colon cancer, a type that Seems to be very aggressive (HER2+). I a couple o months went from barely any sympton to almost dead.

This is her second round of FOLFOX (every two weeks). She is getting also cetuximab weekly.

If (when?) The dissease progresses, we are aiming for anti her2 treatment (tukysa or enhertu)

Right after first infussion (only folfox, no cetuximab) she recovered extremely well and extremely fast in about 2 days. She is now able to have a near normal life without symptons. she even went to gym back again today.

I wonder what to expect in terms of goals. Her mets are very spread but only “a few” in each site except for lungs where she has the most.

Wondering if its possible for a stage iv so spread to reduce the tumor until she can live for 5+ years.
