Hi there. It's been just over a year since I was diagnosed with bowel and liver cancer. It is stage 4 and inoperable and incurable.
I had chemo and scans showed the liver had cleared significantly but latest scan shows it is back and worse. My oncologist says I have few months left but this could be extended a couple of months with more aggressive chemo.
I don't have the strength for this anymore and decided to leave nature take its course instead of being ill from the chemo till my time comes

Hi Lottie pooch
My mum was like that on chemo . A slight reduction in chemo helped with it but she only took that one the second year of treatment when she was more confident in the process .
Definitely speak to your oncologist about it . If it’s any encouragement once she stopped chemo it resolved .
Not easy at all .
I think my mum probably endured for us too ! For that I am grateful but there is a line a would not want her to cross for us too .
These are such difficult decisions.
Thinking of you all .
