Four months ago my husband was diagnosed with bowel cancer which had spread to his lungs and possibly his liver. After 6 rounds of chemotherapy, we were informed yesterday that although the bowel tumour and lung lesions were stable, the liver lesion had increased in size from 13mm to 27mm.
Thus whole time we have been waiting for news about eligibility for immunotherapy. At the start we were told this would take 3 weeks, in early July this information had still not been received so his consultant confirmed he was chasing for it. Yesterday we were told that chemotherapy wasn’t working and that they were switching to immunotherapy because the cancer he has is aggressive. We didn’t even know that the results had been received!
In our shock at the news we failed to ask several questions which we are now trying to obtain.
We want a second opinion, can anyone recommend an experienced oncologist specialising in bowel cancer? Anywhere in the UK
