It's a great help knowing others are going through similar worries. I first had a resection for colon cancer 3 years ago, some adjunctive chemo and I was loving life with no signs until a blood test showed elevated CEA in March 23 and mets on lungs. 12 cycles of Folfiri ending today but CEA has jumped up again, awaiting scan results with inevitable scanxiety.
I have felt generally great throughout the treatment with minimal side effects, not looking forward to having Oxalaplatin again though, which might be on the cards. Consultant said there are some clinical trials which I'm definitely interested in.
I'm a nurse, working non clinically atm thanks to my amazingly supportive team. So incredibly sad to see the nurses in the Onc centre run off their feet like the rest of the NHS. They are brilliant and I am SO grateful for my care.
