First visit with oncologist since colon resection

I had my first visit post surgery with my oncologist yesterday. She went over my pathology report with me along with the results of my blood draw yesterday. Seems surgery was overall successful. My tumor markers are within normal range, so no detectable cancer in my blood. She thinks that the surgeon was correct and they got all the cancerous tissue out. I still have numerous METs in my lungs, but the plan going forward is to finish my last four rounds of FOLFIRINOX, then reaccess after a scan once the cycles are completed. According to my oncologist, as long as nothing else pops up the METs in the lungs are slow growing and can be managed for quite some time.

So I went from 18 months to live to perhaps 10+ years as she said she has/had patients in similar situations to me that have lived that long. She also told me ablation for the METs is back on the table, but only as needed since everything is too small and can't be ablated safely. The largest one as of last month was 4mm. If FOLFIRINOX cycles and whatever else we try works well and snuffs out enough of the lung METs I may be able to get any clusters resected as well. Hopefully the good luck carries into the new year and this damn disease gets it's ass kicked by the summer/late fall as I have traveling I'd like to do.
