BRAF mutation with colorectal cancer - has anyone else had this?

Hi. 

Has anyone been been advised they have the BRAF mutation with colorectal cancer. I've got bowel cancer alongside liver metastasis. Not a lot of info out there. Looking to chat with someone of similar experience. Avoiding googled obviously as so scary and my oncologist just told me it makes the cancer more aggressive.

  • Hi Mollster, 

    I've just replied to your post about chemotherapy but noticed this one hasn't had a reply either, so I wanted to reassure you that this post has been seen and hopefully some of our members who have had the same diagnosis or a similar experience to yourself will be along soon to share their stories and advice.

    In the meantime, try to stay away from google if you can as the information given on there is very generalised and won't necessarily apply to your individual situation. Much easier said than done I know, but it will only make your fears and worries worse. As mentioned in my reply on your other post, if you do have any further questions, you can give our team of cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040.

    We're thinking of you Mollster and sending all our support your way.

    Kind regards,
