hi all. my partner has just been diagnosed with bowel cancer and secondaries in the liver, both inoperable but treatable we are waiting to see oncologist and tuesday he is having biopsy to see wether radio can also be given. i have read a lot of blogs on here about second opinions but have been told this can delay the start of treatment so we are not goin down that road at the moment. does anyone know if this can be done further down the line? ie if he responds well to treatment? i am adamant i am not giving up on this. i am so angry at the moment my partner was dx with bowel cancer 5 years ago and had a colectomy, he only had 3 follow ups in 5 years. he has been goin to gp since xmas and so far they diagnosed him with prostatitis, one dr back in february even said it was the cold weather giving him pain in scar tissue! i feel that 6 months of time has been wasted we even had to wait 4 weeks for hospital appointment. we keep being told to go to gp early with any symptoms but whats the bloody use if all they do is guess? my partner went to gp in january with pain in back passage, weight loss and bowel cancer 5 years ago-well hello!! alarm bells!! sorry to rant im having a bad day today x
