Hello everyone. My husband had bowel cancer 6 years ago and he had the tumour removed , chemo and radiotherapy and was given the all clear . He went for his final check last month and his tumour markers were very high so he had a scan . They have detected cancerous tumours in some stomach lymph nodes and are referring to them as secondary , stage 4. He is due to start chemo next week, every two weeks . It will be through a pic line . I am worried sick . I suppose we were in shock so didn’t ask the right questions . I do remember the words incurable and inoperable which I can’t understand why. He is also having a biopsy done, if they can get to the lymph nodes as they said that it may be tricky . Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Hi CB1986
Hope your partner is doing well - it sounded like they are in similar situation than me (click on my name if you want more about me).
I was wondering how chemo was going and whether your partner has been given a plan for monitoring nodes.
Hi CB1986
I'm just over half of a long 12 cycle chemo thrashing.
I'm doing ok thanks. A million side effects but i'm still standing and still smiling 
.
I seem to not get offered scans after the 1st, though i am aware there is a radiologist resource shortage in my area.
So i've just got my fingers tightly crossed re cancer being buzy zapping my nodes
