Advice about trials

Hi all this is the first time I've posted on here. My name is Ashleigh and I was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer August last year. It had spread to my liver and lynphnods and I have been receiving chemo since then but yesterday I was to see my oncologist and he gave me the bad news that all the chemo options have been tried and have failed and that they have ran out of options for me. I'm only 24 and they don't think I have long left. It hasn't really hit me properly yet but all I've been doing is looking for trials or anything even paying for treatment abroad to try but I haven't managed to find D anything for my situation. I was wondering if seeing if anyone here is in a similar situation that have advixe or if anyone knows any options for trials or treatment abroad. Anything will help even to show my Dr and see if he thinks I could try it. Thank you all for reading and I hope your all doing ok sending best wishes to you all 

  • Hi there butterflyAve ...

    I so wish I had a magic wand ... when cancer crosses limits,  to our young ones .. then I get angry ... it's hard enough when we've had a life ... I will never accept in my head that it can be that crule ...

    I hope with all my heart you find someone with a magic wand for you (trial) and if there's not, l hope you have a family around you, to wrap you up, and help you through ... is there something you still want to see ... I know you want to see everything but something special in your heart ... something you still want to do ... hold on to everyone you love they will see you through ... and there's always someone on here that will listen, no matter how you feel ... pack a lifetime into the time you have ... make as many memories for those you love ...

    I'm trying to hold back the tears right now ... cancer sucks big time ... but don't let it take one more day then it has too ... sending you a huge great hug Ashleigh ... I for one are so proud of you ... and most of us here are on our cancer journey too ... so wer all there with you, holding your hand ...

  • Hello ButterflyAve; welcome to this forum and best wishes in your search for clinical trials.  I don't really know much about trials but am copying the information from this website about bowel cancer trials in case you have not seen it.  I don't pretend to know how relevant or helpful it is to you but wish you all the best.
