My husband has 2 x tumours removed from his colon on 7 April 2025. It was deemed a success, with nothing showing in any lymph nodes, etc, so no need for mop up chemo. He was recovering well and, then, after about 3 weeks after the operation he started to feel very unwell. Backwards and forwards to GP surgery. Developed DVT’s in both calves. Upshot is that a couple of week’s ago it was found that the cancer has spread extensively to his liver with small nodules also found in his lungs. We have been told by 2 x consultants that they have never seen this happen so quickly before. The liver is so bad, they can’t do surgery. He started a 50% dose of FOLDAX chemo yesterday, but the chances of it helping at all are extremely slim. If it doesn’t work, he’s been given 2/3 months to live. We’re still in shock and world shattered.
