Advanced colon cancer with liver mets - awaiting treatment plan

Hi and sorry about your news. 

It’s a difficult time after diagnosis and waiting for a plan. I’m not medical but well differentiated does sound positive as when I was diagnosed 10 years ago mines was poorly differentiated and I’m still here. Mines has returned but I’ve had 10 good years. Think positive and good luck on your journey xx

Hi Cath

Thank you so much for your reply and kind words. I have my fingers crossed and hope that I will have some positive news. It does feel like it has been nothing but bad news for the last month.

I'm sorry to hear your cancer has returned but do hope that everything goes well for you.

Hi SimonR

I found the early stage the very worst. My mind was all over the place and I seemed to have pains that I hadn’t experienced before. The mind can go into overdrive 

Once you have your treatment sorted you can focus on that 

Please chat here if it helps. 

best wishes 

Hi Simon you’re welcome. 
As I said it’s well differentiated so fingers crossed it’s positive for you. 
I’ve  got my positive head on hoping I can shrink everything down. One positive mine is growing slowly. It returned last year and just started treatment on Friday. 

Live life to the full that’s my motto xx

Hi Ann

Thank you for your reply.

Physically I feel absolutely fine but I agree the mental torment is hard (not only for me but for my family also which is hard to watch).

Hopefully not much longer to wait for the treatment plan.

Thanks again

Hi Simon

sorry to here about your nees.  I too am in the East Midlands and have been going through treatment since October last year with Chemo at Notts City and Operations at QMC.

I have had Colon Cancer (Advanced), which was removed by Surgery October 2022.

I also had an extremely large metastase which I have am currently recovering from a rather large liver resection.  Half liver and Gaul bladder removed.

inbetween the 2 Ops I had 3 months of chemo.

what I will say is the NHS have been outstanding with me and saved my life, so if you are where I was you are in good hands.  

good luck

Hi Craig 

Thank you for letting me know your experiences at our local hospitals. My experience so far with the local NHS providers has been excellent with them progressing everything very quickly. 

I wish you the very best for your ongoing treatments.

Big welcome from me to SimonR . Took a few years for my mum’s liver mets under control but clear since 2010 .

Keep pressing forward . We are hear to support you .

 Craig L  great news and hope your liver is regenerating nicely .

Take care ,

Hey Court

Thank you for your kind message

Hello Simon

Sorry to hear that. My husband's bowel cancer is advanced also. It has been a rollercoaster 2 years of a journey for us. At present he is currently in hospital for a 4th time fighting off a sepsis infection. He has been told his cancer has grown- but only slightly which gives a little bit of hope I like to think that maybe it is slowing down. He is not getting any treatment with regards to that at all at present and only pain management. Yes your head will be all over the place just now but once they get a treatment plan in place for you hopefully things will become clearer. My best wishes to you on your journey. Take Care.
