What next…?

Hello, 

I’ve been told that next month, after 3 months of chemo treatment, they’ll do tests to check how the treatment is working… 

What tests might they use? 

It is bowels, so I had a colonoscopy initially but I’m hoping the tests to check how treatment is going might be something else??

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    Your bowel cancer team will decide what tests you might need. They may arrange x-rays, scans, blood tests or a physical examination during your chemotherapy treatment. This is to check how the cancer is responding to the treatment.

    I hope this helps. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,

    Celene
