Hello!!!

hope you all are keeping well, I haven’t posted on here for so long - being a mum of 3 year old and 8 months old along with a teenager takes up all my time now!

thought I’d share my husband’s journey, from December 2020 since he got diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Had an appt yesterday and no evidence of re-occurrence or mets! Happy news! Has been NED since July 2021. Time to book another holiday!

still in disbelief that this December coming up will be 4 years since diagnosed and 3 years NED this July! Felt so quick!

hubby is doing really well!!! Sometimes I do forget that he had cancer cos he looks so well, working full time and we as a family living life to max! as we are taking each day as it comes and enjoy it while we can :)

Want to share with you all that there is hope and positivity as it can happen!

much love

Hello Rac,

Just spotted yours of 13 days ago. Your case sounds very similar to mine. I was diagnosed early 23, surgery in April 23 (caecum and quite a number of nodes removed), then Capox. The Capox was at much reduced dosages because I had a DPD deficiency (most important to be tested for DPD).My Capox treatment was also cut short because I was suffering from an intense form of cold feet and lower legs syndrome (neuropathy I guess). Fortunately a CT Scan showed that I was OK to stop the Capox treatment in Oct 23. I am nearly 80 and reasonably fit. Another check CT Scan due in April.

If I understand correctly, you are having Capox before surgery? Have you not had any scans ? I only experienced mild nausea occasionally and found that the prescribed anti-nausea pillls taken when you feel slight nausea coming on, did help.

Hopefully this message will reach you.All the best.

Anbou.

Hi Anbou,

I’m having CAPOX post surgery. I had appendicitis in November 23 where they found the tumour during CT. You can read my full story by clicking on my name.
