Hello, I have omental metastases which after biopsy were deemed to be of CRC origin; however the colonoscopy could find no primary tumour. I have been treated with palliative chemo, folfox plus pamitumubab, for nearly three years now. So far this has kept things stable, though no shrinkage of tumours.
I wonder if anyone else is in a similar position? I would be really interested to compare notes! Best wishes.

Hello , I have just had a similar diagnosis , HPV + cells in my lymph nodes which they think has come from a CR primary but none found . They have said 12 weeks of chemo scan and then another 12 weeks . How have you coped living with this and having chemo for such a long time? I’m so scared but feel they wouldn’t offer any treatment of the prognosis was hopeless thats what I’m trying to hold on to .
Xx
