  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    It's natural to wonder what the implication of this latest news and proposed treatment will be so it's great that you've reached out to this community for peer-to-peer support.

    As you know, the online community is divided into different support forums and I can see that you've already joined the bowel cancer forum which is a great place to ask questions and share experiences with others who have a similar diagnosis to your husband. I'm sure if you post your question there you'll connect with others who have a similar diagnosis to your husband.

    When you feel up to it, it would be great if you could put something about your husband's diagnosis and  treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select '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.
