Met Colon Cancer to Lymph nodes/cyberknife/treatment options

[MCCfighter]

My husband, age 50 was dx Stage III colon cancer exactly one year ago and had his colon resected. Prior to the surgery there was a small mass in the celiac plexus region (lymph node). This was adjacent but not invading the pancreas. After 6 months of FOLFOX with Avastin this shrunk only to return on the two month break. Current CT shows gastrohepatic, celiac and left paraaortic adenopathy and some tiny right lower quadrant anterior abdominal wall peritoneal nodules. (1) what treatments are available besides standard chemotherapy (targeted, CAM, vaccines etc) (2) Is Cyberknife an option on these nodes (3) Is conventional surgery ever done in this area?

The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is the world's only robotic radiosurgery system designed to treat tumors anywhere in the body non-invasively. Using continual image guidance technology and computer controlled robotic mobility, the CyberKnife System automatically tracks, detects and corrects for tumor and patient movement in real-time throughout the treatment.

Three years ago I had colon resecton along with chemo and radiation.  I had ca in lymph nodes but so far (3 yrs) have been OK except for the pxs that goes along with Ca of the colon-rectum.  Can anyone share with me some of the problems  they have had associated with this type of Ca.  My oncologist tells me that part of my px is that when the resecton was done, the surgeon twisted the bowel (like a spiral instead of a straight connection) don't know why.  As an RN, I try to put some sense to the causes of the pxs that I have but not even the MDs know.  I have a problem with motility (parastalasis).  Causes back pain when transverse colon becomes affected.  I have been on oxycodone since my surgery.  I stpped (gradually weaned myself off) fentanyl patches but can't seem to do without the oxycodone. Please share some of your problems. Thanks.  ***@****
