After I was told I was all clear my Onc also recommended every 6 months. But just CT scans. I wasn't very happy about it. But I knew as long as my blood work was good and my CEA numbers were good and checked every 3 months than I should be okay. <br /><br />I hope this helps.<br /><br />Best,<br />Karenkarenscancer.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08563168045347100321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259088926520563547.post-81752269981060122342017-08-24T20:35:15.024-05:002017-08-24T20:35:15.024-05:00Hi Karen-
I cam across your blog through another ...Hi Karen-<br /><br />I cam across your blog through another site and I was just curious, when you say you get scans done every 6 months are you getting both a CT and a PET scan, or just CT scans? <br /><br />I ask because my mom, who is 52 and recovering from being stage IV colon cancer as well. She had the liver resection and colon resection with 12 chemo treatments of Folfox/Folfiri. Last Chemo in May with both PET/CT done in July which said she was all clear. We have not had the type of relationship you describe with your physician and want to know if we are on the right track, i believe he said a CT scan every 6 months with blood work every 3 months would be appropriate. I am a nurse, but I do not work in oncology so advice/information I get is a bit scattered and I thought maybe asking a survivor would be better. <br /><br />Thank you so much,<br />Theresa Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702564853149575834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259088926520563547.post-61459261679759268332017-08-18T10:55:33.191-05:002017-08-18T10:55:33.191-05:00Would like to connect with Karen regarding recent ...Would like to connect with Karen regarding recent diagnosis...is this possible??JustIdlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511593591009256180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259088926520563547.post-56841582642910318612017-05-05T21:15:16.298-05:002017-05-05T21:15:16.298-05:00Thank you for sharing your good news...Best wishes...Thank you for sharing your good news...Best wishes to You!

He is single I hate every time I have to leave him. I am being his caretaker during his chemo. I wish he would move home so I could be with him every day and he would not be alone. I know that what I want and what he wants is not the same I know he wants to be in his own home so I want him to be happy so I go to him. I can't imagine loosing my son please if anyone can help me to know how to help him please help me help him....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259088926520563547.post-76145507300444228212017-02-23T08:28:47.456-05:002017-02-23T08:28:47.456-05:00You are such an inspiration to so many cancer suff...You are such an inspiration to so many cancer sufferers and their families, more than you will ever know :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259088926520563547.post-72917972699454172602017-02-06T23:33:57.133-05:002017-02-06T23:33:57.133-05:00So great to be healthy :) Glad your doing good Kar...So great to be healthy :) Glad your doing good KarenJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161573491053170706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259088926520563547.post-91690142088024907962017-01-24T10:42:41.291-05:002017-01-24T10:42:41.291-05:00@Jim-thanks buddy!
