Had results today - not great news.

Hi Chris. The chemo is normally used when there is lymph node involvement so you're probably not deminishing your cure rate at all.  As you know it's brutal treatment so hang on in there.  Having had surgery and CRT I'd say the CRT is worse mainly because of the length of time it takes to recover. Ask away and try to prepare as much as possible so you're ready when things need doing. 

Hi Chris, the Rt although it does come with side effects does do a good job of getting rid of these cancers. Just take things one day at a time, always keep your team updated on any side effects, they will give you something for them, don't suffer in silence. We are all here to answer any questions you have, if we can, so just ask away.

You sound really upbeat and organised which is brilliant, the treatment can be harsh and recovery difficult...try to stay off Dr Google, do your research on validated sites...Macmillan, Cancer Research...NHS etc....stick with this forum...all posters have been there...done it.

Oh Chris I'm lost for words.  Glad they have now found out why you were having those scary bleeds, even if it wasn't the news you wanted. I know from reading  experiences on here that treatment is brutal but you can do it. The people on here will help get you through it. Remember to stay off Dr google!!  Try and  keep a positive outlook and take each day as it comes. Can't give anymore advice as my journey was different but always here if you want to rant or offload.
