    I haven`t been a big user to this site but did post a couple of blogs that people took the time to respond to so just wanted to let you know that unfortunately my mum died on monday 31st January.  She passed away at home with her family round her which is exactly what she wanted and it was lovely to be able to do that for her with the help of the fantastic district nurses. Good luck to everyone else sruggling with this…

    My mum has been having combination chemo oxaliplatin and 5fu which they have stopped before her last dose as it is not working. They have spoken about her having irinitecan (not sure i`ve spelt that right) does anyone know anything about this chemo and how it may affect her.She has bowel and secondary liver cancer.

    I have just joined the site.My mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer and secondary liver cancer in June it was a complete shock and I am still struggling to believe this is happening to my family. My mum is undergoing chemo at the moment  but it is just to buy her more time. It is so hard to see her go through this knowing it is not going to make her better.I just want to help her but feel there is nothing I can do.
