Hi,

i’ve signed in on behalf of my mum, who’s been diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer last September just a month before she turned 70. I’m hoping to gather more information on treatments and advice as she’s getting treatment outside the UK.

I just want to confirm if below treatments prescribed to her are similar to how we get treated here in the UK.

Her symptoms were blood in stool, constipation or diarrhea. She’s had colonoscopy, CT scan and MRI scan. 2 benign polyps had been removed but there was a cancerous tumor near her rectum and vaginal canal. The size was about half of the colon’s circumference.

So she’s been given oral medication and 28 days of Chemoradiation. After which, she needs to rest for 2-3 weeks before having an MRI scan.And then, possibly 4-5 sessions of Intravenous Chemotherapy every 21 days. Then another MRI scan before scheduling her Colorectal surgery.

Thank you.
