So pleased to find this group. I need to share and ask for advice.
I was diagnosed with colon cancer in September. I had bowel surgery to remove the tumour in November. Cancer has spread to my liver. Surgery on the liver has been ruled out because of its shape and size.
I am now on chemo, the stop-start approach, 2nd of 4 sessions. I’m on Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine. During my last conversation with my consultant I was told I had about two years with chemo (six months without). It was a shock, as I had hoped for longer.
I am very much in the dark about what other treatments may be available for the liver. Any help, advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Bazza and a very warm welcome to the online community and I hope you'll find it an informative and supportive place.
I can see that you've already joined the secondary liver cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from others with this type of cancer. Can I also suggest that you think about joining the bowel cancer group and maybe also the living with incurable cancer group.
