Hi everyone, I had an extended RHC in March 2025 and then 6 months of CAPOX as my tumour was T4 and I had some nodes affected. I completed that in Nov 2025. I’ve had numbness in feet and twitching feelings in my hands which appears after the chemo stopped and doesn’t seem to be improving as yet. I’ve now got these strange feelings in my head like maybe slight pressure and other sensations that I really can’t describe but I’m wondering if it’s possible to get the some twitching sensation but in your head?! The last two days I’ve also seen blood after having a bowel movement - the first movement was painful and I do suffer from piles and today I went again and saw blood and there was a bit of pain. My tumour was in the transverse colon but I’m so scared about recurrence and how it might present. I do have my one year checks coming up soon. Just seeking reassurance and anyone experienced the same re the sensations in head? Thanks very much x
