I have just come back from the marsden and will be put on Fluorouracil, irinotecan and cetuximab this coming Tuesday 31 May. Going to be admitted for 48 hours as there is a 2 week wait for the picc line (is this what most people have?)
I’m so scared but pleased treatment will start soon. Can anyone advise on how to keep my body fighting through food without blocking up the colon where the tumour is? Or good liver health ideas? I need to fight with every bone in my body? Any other advice for what to expect? Thank you all in advance and for such kind words on my last post. You made me feel so much bettter and also helped me seek help on dealing with the anxiety.
My mum knocked it down without it !

You tell your daughter I was much older than her with children of my own and I still have the day imprinted on my mind watching her head out to the car . My husband brought her home but not before he had gone by the local outdoor shop and she came back looking as though she was heading up Ben Lomond . She was on Oxaliplatin which reacts to cold . My first thoughts were what have you done to my mother ! But underneath the balaclava she was perfectly fine . Back in one piece and looking for some food .
You can reassure her , mum will be back very soon to take control . That she can be sure of .
Best foot forward as my wee mum likes to say . And here’s to significant shrinkage ! The pushback begins
Much love ,
Court
