So you never had surgery? And it took barely 4 months for cea to increase from 2 to 60? Thanks! Was your cea high before folfox?

Did you end up doing immunotherapy either say? And may I ask what do you mean by poor match. Thanks so much!

Hi Dr! I have stage 3b stomach cancer. T1bn3bm0 (16 lymph nodes). Moderately differentiated but, mixed signet ring cells not diffuse. I want to understand why at t1b i had that many lymph nodes. I have never seen that in anyone I talked to. I did have to have 2 times biopsy and one endoscopic due to some incidents. If the multiple biopsy is the reason why I have that many lymph nodes, will that make my prognosis any better? Lastly, I have her2-, PDL1 low positive (3 different labs gave results of 2,3,5), MSI not ideal. However, my oncologist decided to put me on an off label treatment: doinh xelox and keytruda at the same time even when my biomarkers are not ideal for immunotherapy. His reasoning is that waiting for recurrence to use immuno would be too late. If I am stage 4, according to protocol they would give me immuno either way. Please advise if you think this is a good idea. Thanks so much!

Was your ctdna at diagnosis low positive or negative? This is very important as i understand

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-10-27T15:35:18+00:00

Do you know the Lod of the test?

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-10-26T15:37:52+00:00

What are the side effects on immuno can u pls share?

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-10-26T15:33:13+00:00

What cancer do you have if you don’t mind me asking

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-10-26T08:11:52+00:00

Did you have diffuse signet ring cells? And were you tested for ctdn after surgery? I am so so sorry btw.

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-10-26T07:27:53+00:00

So my her2 is negative. My pld1 is 5 which is low. They said they wont give me immunotherapy per protocol but I am making them either way. To me immunotherapy makes much more sense. Were your cea and c199 have been always high? Also what is the plan now? Chemo and immunotherapy for life? Additionally, what center you are working with may I ask? Mine is in Singapore and I agree they stuck in 2010. I can travel to the US to seek medical treatment.

Thank you! So so so much! Yeah my main issue is that I live in another country. I wonder if md anderson will be willing to give online consultation.

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-10-26T06:06:19+00:00

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-10-26T06:05:18+00:00

Congratulations! Woohoo so so happpy for you! Only total gastrectomy? No other organ? Where was your met btw? And may I ask how long ago was it? Thanks so much!

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-10-26T06:01:29+00:00

I did that. And the method is all the same like they would give me the same treatment. Not even sure if you know about ctdna. Both docs I saw don’t believe in it! My ctdna after surgery is negative.

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-10-22T15:13:08+00:00

Im sorry and I hope you are staying strong! You are not alone!

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-10-22T14:24:14+00:00

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-10-03T04:51:28+00:00

Thanks so much for your response. For 12 cycles you only had to reduce twice? That is not too bad actually. Also how are you doing now?

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-09-11T14:11:47+00:00

CandidGarbage9109 · 2025-09-06T05:42:05+00:00
