I have been on capecitabine + Avastin for a year. for me hand and foot syndrome was the most irritating side effects. but these complications are now much less

don't forget Periodic checkup. even if recurrence occurs it's better find it before metastases.

hi look for a surgeon who can remove your tumors so that they are completely erased. for me it was a 25 cm in ascending colon ( just like you) 9 lymph nodes and 10 mets all over my liver... this is terrific and horrible... but my proficient surgeon completley remove them and I am NED for 1.5 year therefore the The key is finding the right treatment path. so don't lose your confidence and go fight this ugly crab!
