Hi, I was diagnosed out of the blue a few weeks ago with cancer of unknown origin. Biopsy results confirmed advanced right sided colon cancer and I finally saw the oncologist today. I signed consent to begin folfiri and bevacizumab in the next few weeks. The list of side effects is daunting but I am hoping that I will have good days too because, despite my scans and blood results, I currently feel well. I am not really sure what to expect and am very scared about it all so if anyone has had this treatment and can give me tips or reassurance I'd be very grateful.
