Hi, it’s my first post so hopefully I’m in the right place. My mum has had a very out of the blue bowel cancer diagnosis which has already spread to the liver. The only real symptoms she’s had is night sweats so it’s all been a whirlwind these last 2 months. Turns out the tumour perforated the bowel and she needed emergency surgery that was very successful, keyhole and no stoma. She’s recovering well. Chemo is about to start for the liver now using Folfox. We’ve been told it isn’t curable. I think we’ve both been too scared to ask how long we can expect, I’m just not understanding what incurable actually means? What can we expect and what should we be aware of with Folfox?
