Bowel cancer liver and lung mets

Hi Walter2 

Welcome to the forum . 
knowledge in itself is sometimes hard to process . We are from a medical family and it did feel as though there was no where to hide but saying that I was also encouraged to see people using chemo in a maintenance setting . Chemo was the game changer for my mum . She had roughly two years of it initially and had a great response which opened up other avenues . She lived as a stage four patient from 2009 to 2024 ! She initially had a spread to her liver , which moved to her lungs around 2014 and so it must have remained until 2024 .

I found the initial year the hardest as you are waiting to see the results of chemo but they are tracking the tumour markers , although not the most reliable for some . 
You will see people in their seventh year of chemo on the boards ! And although having to learn to live with an uncertain future there were still many , many good days ahead .

But you are only human and everyone needs support through this . Some days are just easier than others and sometimes you hit a wall and need someone understanding to chat to . That’s what we are here for .

The treatments that have emerged in the last few years have given a lot of hope and encouragement to bowel cancer and we are hoping for more !

Take care ,

That’s a lot to take in, I also had bowel cancer with liver mets ,it then spread to my lungs and then back to my liver.  I was very very lucky in all instances that it was caught in time for surgery.  I hope the chemotherapy does what it’s supposed to for your husband and that surgery becomes an option too for husband.  Sending you prayers for the best outcomes 

Thank you for your lovely response that has given me some encouragement and. I’m so grateful for this forum 

Thank you for your reply I do appreciate it
