Bowel cancer and a sinking feeling

Hello Mkr 

I am Brian, one of the Community Champions here at Macmillan. 

i have noticed your post has gone unanswered. I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer, however by me replying, your post will be "bumped up" to the top of the page and I hope, seen and replied to by other members of the Bowel group.

Best wishes - Brian.

Thank you so much Brian ️

Hi Mkr, 

I'm assuming that your dad is on palliative treatment? 

At his next consult let them know your concerns. There are different lines of treatment. 

They may switch him to a different drug combo to knock it back again. 

Good luck

Yes  he’s on palliative care but no medication because of f his age and the fact that he has late stage dementia . 

Lots for you to cope with. I'm not the best to advise for your situation.

Do you have a Macmillan unit at your hospital? Or a nearby hospice who can provide practical help and personalised advice? 

Marie Curie are outstanding too. 

You don't have to do it all alone. 

Yes we do . I will contact them 

Thank you.
