Am new to group. Was diagnosed April 2020 with stage 4 colon and have been receiving chemo every two weeks. Originally after CT scan was told it was shrinking but last scan showed I had a Kurkenberg tumour in pelvis area! Am due to change chemo to Folfox. Feeling lost at moment. Just turned 80. Has anyone had this? 

  • Hi 

    So sorry to hear you are feeling lost . We have a helpline 0808 808 0000 and the staff would be more than happy to chat to you in person if that’s any help .

    If you use the search function ( magnifying glass at the top right ) you can type in Krukenberg and read others information on it . Is it the ovary area ? Someone was on the forum very recently with it and there is also the womb group to draw some information from .

    My own mum has had a few bumps along the way but you did very well with first line treatment . That’s a lot of chemo ! Did you keep well ? 
    Lots of information on Folfox too so we can Hopefully support you are you deal with this next round of chemotherapy . 

    My mum had capecitabine the tablet form and the Oxaliplatin infusion . What did you have previously?

    It took a few cycles to get into a good routine and make sure it was a tolerable dose but they worked well with her .

    Take care ,

    Court
