Hs anyone been in my situation , what options were you offered ? I'd like to be a bit more informed before I see my consultant again . Sorry for being long winded ️
Hi Africa1 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you've recently discovered that your bowel cancer has returned. I haven't been in your situation but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also post this message in the bowel cancer group, which I can see you've joined, as I'm sure you'll find people there whose cancer has spread and who will be happy to share their experiences with you.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
