Inoperable bowel cancer

Hi IJP

You have a great attitude and I think you do need that realistic approach. It took a full two years on and off for my mum to get the liver reaction at the centre of excellence. Slowly reducing the tumour burden actually worked out for my mum despite the in between disappointing recurrence. Long term I think the extra year of chemo gave her a better long term survival . Could be wrong but I feel  it really did it’s job .

It was actually the second year that things settled in my own mind and I felt deep down if it could do it once it could do it again . And it did despite a lower more manageable dose .

Send your mum my very best wishes and in bowel babes  motto “Keep powering on “ . 
Much love ,

Court 

Thanks court, I appreciate your reassuring words. It seems to be those little bits of microscopic cancer cells that can't be seen on scans that pose a real challenge in cancer treatment generally but hoping chemo can tackle those. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
