Hello
Does anybody have experience of bowel cancer metastasizing to the lung viia other organs?
What treatments were offered? Success?
My husband's 1st 2 treatments had him in 1st time for pulmonary edema then mouth/throat ulcers.
2nd treatment was after a week postponement to deal with side effects.
2nd treatment he was admitted for 4 days. Couldn't take food and struggled with liquids.
They want to try again .
What can we do.
He was healthy before.
Hi Sierraoscar
my metastatic lung cancer is different to your husbands, and I don’t have experience of the treatment he has had, but just wanted you to know you are not alone here. I am so sorry you are both going through this. It must be awful to watch hubby being so poorly on treatment, especially when he was well leading up to it.
Please do come here to chat whenever you need too. We may not always no the answers, but we do know how you feel. You can also call the MacMillan support line and chat to someone there on 0808 808 00 00. They are available 7 days a week from 8am until 8pm.
I hope your husband’s next treatment is easier for him. Please do let us know how he is doing.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
