Chemotherapy

Oh no slight bleeding again 

Lots of people have slight bleeding . Hopefully as the tumour resolves with chemo it will sort it out . Always pass information like this to your team .

Did you get your medicines now . I am sure this is just a blip as you did not get them at a time when you needed them .

I will resurrect our wee chat thread .

You are make good progress .

• Hi court iv got to have 2 units of blood again my iron is low again discussed the CT scan with me my liver is lovley my lungs are lovley they said it hasn't moved so pleased with that bit fingers crossed now they said they mite put me on something else instead of chemotherapy has it mite me to dangerous with my heamaglobin going down I don't know what else there going to give me

There are other treatments like Immunotherapy and biological agents they can use too ! Bowel cancer is quite fortunate in that regards .

Good news on the liver/lungs front . That’s a relief !

Take care ,

Hi court it was a relief to here it hadn't gone to my liver and my lungs but just stressing wene there going to do treetment and what treetment theyl do iv got to see the consultant Tuesday but they don't seem to be moving that quick I know they got to take caution but she said there going to look at scan again and see what can happen 

Seems like a lot of bother did anyone else have this trouble 

Do you think they are considering radiotherapy ? Or surgery maybe ? 
It is really taking a long time although they have been trying to address the other issues I guess. 

Take care ,

Court 

Hi court I thought that they were talking ages iv heard of loads of people had same thing has me and still had treetment if I'd known all this in the begging I would of had a second opinion she sent in 1 of her associates to tell me what's happening iv always seen her I don't know what's happening and it's making me really depressed I can't get out of bed iv got to go have blood transfusions tom do I have the right to ask to see the team I don't want to come across has to pushy 

They told me in the beggining that I couldn't have surgery only chemo for now until it shrank down 

I don’t think you are being pushy . I think it’s fine to say you are having concerns about the implications of not starting treatment , whilst you understand there are other issues you would like to know the plan now and have information on the proposed timescales and treatment . Write it down and hand it in if you find it too challenging on the day .

Tell them it’s affecting your mental well being now .

If that does not ease your mind you can still have a second opinion at any time . You can also get PALs to assist you if you are no further forward .

Take care ,

Court
