Hi all- I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer 2 years ago, had surgery, an ileostomy and chemo. Seemed to go ok, finished chemo and had the ileostomy reversed in January this year. Then, first routine check (colonoscopy) revealed another tumour in the colon and spread to both lobes of liver. Having seen the surgeons etc yesterday I’ve been told there’s no surgical option and there may possibly be some chemo but that will be dependent on detailed DNA sequencing for which there are not yet any results. Basically if the gene sequence is the same as the previous tumour there’s no point in more chemo either ( I think I’ve got that right, it was quite a stressful consult). Now I’m in a kind of twilight zone with real or imagined abdominal pains and wondering how long is left! I’m also wondering how it will make me feel physically - I’ve read some of the information but there are a lot of possible effects. Anyone who’s had/having similar would welcome your views.
