I was wondering if anyone has any similar stories as mine? And if there are any happy endings!
My mum was diognosed with stage 4 bowel Cancer in October 2017. She had just turned 62. It had spread to her liver and lung. She had a round of chemo, 6 cycles. It helped shrink the tummor and a few of the lesions.
She then had an operation to remove the primary tummor from her bowel. And went on to have a liver resection to remove the lesions that had spread there.
She had surgery to remove the deep spread in her lung.
And also had another operation on her liver to remove more lesions, aswell as her gaul bladder, that was causing infections.
She is having regular mri scans on the liver... Another one due near Christmas, and having 3/6 monthly ct scans too, where the latest one is showing that there are more lesions in the lung and liver... But said the scans arent clear. So they might need to do another one. As they aren't sure what they are yet.
Apparently they aren't sure whether the chemo will work next time round and have said they will only use that at the end....!
Not sure what to think anymore.
She's feeling healthy in herself, active and eating well and doesn't feel poorly at all.
Scared for what else they can/can't do!!!
Praying they don't give up on her and are able to keep helping as she's fit enough and strong enough to handle it.
