I'm going for my picc line today feeling overwhelming thought I was done with all that but no boarding that train again.
I'm having my first chemo on Friday folfori I have no idea whats inshore this time but I need to get through 6.
I've noticed people having different things with theirs like a precaution drug I haven't been offered these do I need to ask ?
And I'm concerned about stomach cramps with this chemo something I learned after I'd spoken with oncologist shoukd I ask about the injection others have mentioned.
Everything swimming around my head today its all getting very real.
Sorry Faloola I did not notice this post . It may well be as there was talk of needing to know for sure the primary if I remember correctly.
So sorry you are feeling low but totally understandable. It’s such a shock to your system .
Hope today has been better .

Hi Court , no problem. It was to discuss things and to advise me a biopsy needed to be done to see what they are dealing with. It was the original surgeon who did my resection in 2013. He said he’s not convinced it’s a recurrent bowel cancer with such a late presentation unless the cells have lay dormant and something has set them off. He thinks it could be a new cancer maybe a sarcoma. So that’s where I am he can’t make a plan until he gets the results of the biopsy. He said their are two oncologists in the MDT.

Hi Court, he said he would be looking to shrink the two tumours the one on my hip and the one on my right and then surgery to remove them both then more treatment. He said it would be chemo or radiotherapy or both. He said he would hope the treatment would also shrink the 1.1cm nodule on my lung as it’s to small to remove but he thinks is malignant. And would just need to monitor. So long road ahead.
