No sign of cancer anywhere except one liver lesion (believed to be peritoneal disease adherent to the liver), which has grown from 8mm to 2.1cm since his pre-op PET/CT on October 12.

He told Daddy that he has the potential for a cure with chemo now and then surgery to resect the liver lesion and any peritoneal disease that cannot be seen on the CT. > > Daddy's CEA level was 5.6 pre-op and is now 1.3, which is very good news.

He is now a candidate for the PAACE trial with Panitumumab. He is currently being screened for this trial. He should start chemo next week. > > Daddy has a post-op PET/CT scheduled tomorrow. Please pray that the PET/CT will not show any additional cancer. Thank you for your prayers. > > Take care.
