Hi, I turned 47 in March 2024 and was diagnosed with advanced Rectal Cancer with small mets in my liver and lung on 24-04-24. Started chemo and targeted/immunotherapy (FOLFOX & CETUXIMAB) on 26-06-24 I've had 12 sessions, last one before Christmas. They are continuing the CETUXIMAB every 2 weeks, until it stops working or I can't handle side effects or just want to stop. They are scanning me every 3 months for changes. Last scan was November and there was minor improvement in lung with no other changes or new mets. Scanning again in February so hoping there is more improvement. Anyone else on similar journey?
