Michael, I had a resection in July with a cea of 185, stage 3. I had
5fu/lukovoion for 6 months and the cea went down and then up again. I am now
on cpt11 (camptosar) and the cea in back to normal. This is just background
for you. The protocol you mentioned is one of the newest and is reported to
be very successful.
The important thing for you to remember is to be calm and encouraging. A
strong support system is VERY important to the aid in recovery.
This is a winnable situation.
The thoughts, hearts and prayers of the forum will be with you. If you need
an outlet to vent, use us. Sylvia
