Hi all just spoken to my oncologist had the usual niceties then she said your scan results are back is anyone with you I thought omg here we go.

There is considerable reduction in the lymph node and my liver is looking normal I didn't know to laugh or cry.

She said that's really good news we are going to put you on maintenance chemo I was on folfori they are now  putting me on cetuximab and my 5fu pump.

I have been warned about the skin rash.

I know I'm still living the cancer life but gosh I'm pleased with progress so far,long may it continue..

  • Hi  What brilliant news! So pleased for you and hope the cetuximab isn’t too bad. Hope you’ve got some nice treats lined up to celebrate - keep up the good work!

    Take care

  • Hi,

    I’ve been diagnosed  with recurrent bowel cancer stage 4. I thought they would put me on maintenance chemo. But my oncologist has just offered me 5  days palliative radiotherapy fior the pain in my hip.
