Just a quick recap - my hubby has bowel cancer that has spread to his liver (which is riddled with it). He’s finished his first course of chemo and the good news is that the tumours have shrunk by about 30%. The biggest tumour in his liver has reduced from about 9cm to 6.5 and another from 6 to 4.5and the overall reduction was about 30%. He suffered quite badly with a sore mouth and mouth ulcers during the first course and they’ve reduced the chemo now by 30% for the second course. He’s had his first treatment and definitely had fewer side effects. The medical team have told us that the reduction of chemo won’t affect the results at all - I can’t quite get my head around this. Has anyone else had their chemo reduced due to the side effects and still had further shrinkage? Our only hope of a cure is if the tumours in the liver reduce further, giving us the option of other treatments.
