Hello, I am trying to find some info for my mother who has stage IV bowel cancer with liver mets, she has had a bowel resection for her primary tumour and we are hoping to find some options for her liver mets given she is quite frail and might not tolerate systemic chemo.
For those who had SIRT - how did you access the treatment? It seems like self-funded is the only option for now, but did anyone have any success getting SIRT on the NHS without going through systemic chemo?
If you self-funded, where did you go and how much was it approximately? We are based in London.
Thanks everyone!
Hi and a warm welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to hear that your mum has been diagnosed with bowel cancer and secondary liver cancer and it's natural that you want to find out everything you can to try and help her.
Could I suggest that you also join and post your question in the bowel cancer and secondary liver cancer groups as there you'll be able to benefit from talking to people with experience of these types of cancer.
To join either or both of these groups just click on the links I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the pages that open. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it would be useful if could pop something about your mum's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
