My husband has aggressive bowel cancer that has spread rapidly from first symptoms in October to now. It is now in bowel, lymph nodes nearby and in chest near lung, stomach lining, adrenal, liver and affecting blood flow so his kidneys have started to die. Today I have been told the planned treatments will have to change due to rapid spread. They think that chemotherapy is unlikely to be a benefit and so he probably won’t have any. Does this mean we are on a downhill path to the end? It seems he is not going to have any treatment just pain relief and stoma. What prognosis can I expect? No appointment for two weeks and I need to have some idea. Thank you
