Hello Everyone new to the forum.  I am 46 with 2 teenagers and was diagnosed in 2013 with colon cancer (Duke B with no spread) had surgery but declined adjuvant chemotherapy as I was too weak then and felt my body would not manage.  I have just been told it has spread to my liver and just wanted to ask about experiences with chemotherapy/ immunotherapy for colon cancer.  Has this been successful for anyone? I am currently fit and well and feel that chemotherapy might take me on a downward spiral.  I am yet to see an oncologist but feel a bit apprehensive about it all. I really would welcome some advice.  Is it advisable to ask the clinician how long you have left, I think that would really depress me currently I'm just going to start planning for the inevitable.  My husband has asked that I stay positive.  I read that there has been advances in treatment but I have not read any first hand experiences of this. 11 years on  I am so grateful as my kids could have grown up without a mom, I live for them and really would like to do whatever it takes to prolong my life. Most say a healthy Balance diet but with colon cancer with no large bowels I can't tolerate many foods can't eat much raw vegetables/ fruits/cereal as they give me the worse cramps, t would be nice to hear others experiences regards diet.  Thanks and sorry for the long post.
