Sister has Stage 4 Bowel Cancer

My sister ws diagnosed with Stage 4 Bowel cancer last October. She is very frail and need regular blood transfusions due to internal bleeding. She has a stoma now and is being treated with immunotherapy. She is three treatments into six in all and had a CT scan last week and was due for a telephone consultation for the results. However this has now been changed for a face to face consultation at the consultants request. Do you think this could be because there is negative news?

  • Hello HeatherMary, so sorry about your sister.   a telephone consultation that has been changed to a face to face consultation does NOT necessarily mean that it is bad news.........BUT, I think that you would rather hear the truth than sugar-coating wouldn't you?  There is a definite possibility that they want to speak with your sister face to face because what they need to tell her is negative.  I sincerely hope that I am wrong, but I think that this is something you have to prepare yourself for.  Again, so sorry, Violet, x

  • Thank you so much for your response, I really appreciate you time. I am keeping my fingers crossed for her but after what has been said in the past and them asking her to sign a DNAR I suppose I look on the negative side. Thank you again Violet x
