Hello all, my dad has bowel and secondary liver cancer! He’s had 5 rounds of Folfox and was due to have round 6 tomorrow the doctor has called to say he can’t have round 6 due to something with his liver! Just wanted to ask is this normal as my dad doesn’t ask questions and just goes along with the flow. He had a ct scan Tuesday and awaiting those results to see if the chemo is doing it’s job! I just worry on every bit

  • Hi Kerry17  Just a quick post to offer some reassurance, I hope. A lot of people on here have had their chemotherapy paused for various reasons. This is normal, although I can understand how upsetting it is. Can you contact your dad’s nurse specialist to find out more details? They’re usually the best place to start. Good luck.
