Mr Peahead was identified in January 2025 following a colonoscopy after experiencing rectal bleeding and subsequently having a positive FIT test. This intruder is aptly named as when they were taking a biopsy of the tumour there was a solitary pea left over from bowel prep sat on top of it! So that explains that name. Moving forward 4 months I have sailed through chemo radiation and started FOLFOX on the 29th April. I’ve decided to do this blog now as I can’t believe how every day is different. The first night the most awful insomnia which then settled then day 6 my emotions were running so high I literally woke up and burst into tears and spent the whole day feeling like I had spent the night partying. No nausea just extreme fatigue. Day 7 today and I’m a different person as if yesterday didn’t even happen. So here begins my journey with FOLFOX and Mr Peahead. Hold on tight think we are in for a rollercoaster journey x
