Stage 4 hope 11 1/2 years later !

Thanks for the continuing good wishes . It’s twelve years next month ! I am busy completing paper work for a piece of research mum is hoping to participate in on long term survival for stage 4 bowel cancer . Basically I think it’s looking to see if some people’s bodies identify it as an infection!

Hopefully she will be able to help out !

Yes, its palliative care at the moment so every 2 weeks with the hope of some surgery on my liver if there is enough shrinkage but it is also in the peritoneal lining too which may prevent any surgery at all.  I'm staying optimistic!

Good on you for staying optimistic! You sound like my mum ! Your chemo responsive so anything is possible !

Have a good weekend !

Thank you Court.  You too have a good weekend  

Thank you so much for sharing these posts.  Mum diagnosed with inoperable duodenum cancer - likely stage 4 as spread to liver last week.  You have returned a glimmer of hope to what we feel is a very bleak outlook.  X

Difficult days for your family . Send your mum my love and sincere hope that chemo gives shrinkage and other options too!

Thinking of you all and if you ever need to chat just send me a PM .

Thank you  

Hi Court,

Haven't been on here for a while, been moving house, working etc.

Hope you and your mum are OK, it's nearly scan time for me again end of August  xx.

Are you still on 3 monthly scans Bud 18? It does not seem any time at all since your last one !
 Not be long now until those scans are getting spaced out ! 
I am holding out for more good news and we are here to support you through the build up period . Then it will be behind you for a while !

Take care ,
