Hi worried my husband was diagnosed with colon cancer in January 2023 after a hemicolectomy was given the all clear. In February 2024 was diagnosed stage 4 with liver and lung mets. So far Folfiri, folfox, Lonsurf with bevacizumab have failed and he is about to start Mitomycin with Capexitabine next week after the latest scan showed the tumors in both lung and liver have doubled in size. Surgery and immunotherapy are not an option. So concerned about if there are many more treatments available and how much time we have left. Any experience with Mitomycin and Capeitabine?

    I am Brian one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community. I have just noticed your post has gone unanswered. I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer, however by me replying your post will be "bumped up" to the top of the page and I hope seen and replied to by other members of the Bowel cancer group.

    Best wishes - Brian.
