Bowel cancer spread

Hi loopy loops,

• The chemo started 7 weeks after my bowel op, to allow time for my body to recover from the op. After chemo ends there will be a min of 6 weeks before liver resection again to allow time for your body to get over the chemo. It then depends on where you have your liver surgery as this will be in a regional hub. I live in Gloucestershire and will have my op in Birmingham,  which is a very busy department,  so I've been told to expect a 6-8 week wait after my consultation with the Birmingham consultant,  so could be 10 weeks+ after finishing chemo. My mets were 14mm and 7 mm to begin with. Bhsm has requested another scan pre-op to check on progress as my last scan was midway through the chemo. 

Thank you so much for sharing this information. That is really helpful to know potential waiting g times. I started my chemo 6 weeks after my initial op (4 weeks after diagnosis). 
I’m based in Oxfordshire, so under the Churchill & John Radcliffe for my treatment. 
Good luck with your treatment. 
thanks again!

Good luck to you too. Take care.
