Bowel Cancer spread to lungs

Hi Goodfellaok. Sorry to hear you are having to start chemo tablets due to lung mets. I haven't any experience of these tablets myself, so bumping your post so it doesn't get missed. Hopefully someone will come and chat with you soon and share their experience. 

Hi Goodfellaok, 

Sorry to hear this. How are you doing now?

My mum has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer with liver and small volume lung mets. 

She is commencing chemo on Monday. 

Do you have any advice on your experience with chemo?

Thanks,

Kiki 

Hi kiki

Sorry to hear about your mum.I have recently finished 12 weeks of chemo and had a good result with no spread and nodes in lungs have reduced in size.
