Hubby diagnosed with bowel and possible spread to liver

Hi JanPhil 

So sorry to hear about your husband . You are so right . The waiting is extremely hard . 
Even although bowel cancer has spread it often can still be treated and stabilise the disease . Everyone is very different but hope you can get some input from his Gp just now on pain relief . 
Macmillan has a helpline 0808 808 0000 and would be happy to speak to you over the phone and offer support . This is exactly what they are there for .

take care ,

Hi,

I concur with Court Macmillan are fantastic. 

Thinking if you and your family. ️

I was diagnosed with a similar cancer in early March and am just about to complete 5 out of 6 chemo treatments. It’s not been an easy journey but he will feel better once he’s on a treatment plan and has a goal to aim for. Staying positive is the key, I know it’s easy to say but giving up isn’t an alternative. My family and I use a lot of humour to try and get by, it also seems to encourage conversation so there’s nobody wondering what’s going on. It’s definitely worse for those closest to you than the one going through it, so everyone has a role to play in keeping positive, not just the person diagnosed. Stay strong there’s always hope and treatment theses days is so much better than even a few years ago as medicines advance. X
