Hello this is my first post. My husband is currently under going treatment folfiri for lung mets after an initial bowel cancer diagnosis last year 2024. He has had 2 months worth of treatment and he is saying that he is not sure with his symptoms if it is worth it. His skin is dry and flakey ( he has got cream which he use) and fragile it bleeds easy and he ended up with an infection and antibiotics. Feeling lethargic and just generally unwell. He has been told he has 2-3 years to live. Is it worth him persevering has anyone else had this treatment and what are your experiences. Thanks in advance
