I had Bowel cancer 4 years ago . I found out this year that it has spread to the lungs. Am struggling with the side effects of the Chemo after 6 rounds
Chemo is definitely not a walk in the park. I had same cancer. Surgery 5 years ago followed by capox which absolutely wiped me out and left me with peripheral neuropathy which is still an ongoing problem. Subsequently diagnosed with mets in both lungs. One was treated with stereotactic radiotherapy in 2022, the other with ablation in 2024. Now playing the watch and wait game. MRI next week, PET scan at the end of the month.
I had rectal 2019 then spread to liver 2023 had resection as they waited to long so couldn't do the ablation. I didn't have mop up chemo as my body only stood one dose so they stopped as I had 25 sessions after recal. Im still very lethargic and suffer from bowel urgency now which is horrible seeing gastro Monday then oncologist for 6monthly in November its a hard struggle
