we have just been given some devastating news. my partner and i went yesterday to see consultant to get results from mri scan and ct scan (read my profile for background) we were sat down and very bluntly told he has a recurrence of bowel cancer, it is advanced and secondaries in the liver. we have been told it is not operable as the cancer is in both lobes of his liver. they are going to do a biopsy on the bowel next week to see what type of cancer and if it is in a suitable position for radiotherapy and they are also goin to give chemotherapy to slow it down. i gather then its treatable but not terminal at the moment? we are both finding it very hard to cope with this and both just keep crying, iv cried rivers, i didnt know there were that many tears inside of me! i feel that theyre just giving up with him! feelin a mixture of emotions at the moment, i even feel angry with the consultant for giving us this news-stupid i know. i have read blogs on here where people have had similar diagnosis and then gone on to have surgery? we are trying to remain positive but struggling big time! please, please, please can anyone offer us any hope? sorry to go on x

hello it must be so hard for both of you, my thoughts are with you, don.t really know what to say, just try to be strong and positive.
Today my partner have had the same bad news as you , and told bluntly , thank goodness for the McMillan nurse. Like you lots of tears at the moment.
Like you we are having allsorts of emotions and not sure where we go from here .We were told Bowel and Liver Cancer not operable , just waiting now to see Oncologist. Been told Chemo is the next step. See my posting on the forum today approx 15 mins ago ..Take care Anne
