Hello all firstly what an amzing chat and reading the good and bad has helped me alot.

So my wife was told yestaday she has bowel and liver cancer its to big to operate on and may have spread too lungs as well waiting on second ct scan and results on th dna of bowel

 MY Q is  they want to try cemo starting ASAP  but by not removing cancer does this mean she will end up "passing" no matter what. i didnt like to ask the qustion in front of her and it isnt how shes thinking nore me but id like to no her odds.

    In April I had a diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer which had spread to the liver.  8 cycles of chemo later and the cancer can no longer be detected with scans.  Surgeon also can no longer see the tumour in a colonoscopy and so I seem to have dodged surgery thanks to the chemo alone.  It's different for everyone but support your wife, stay upbeat and ask the oncologist lots of questions so you know what's going on.  All the best to you and her.
