Hi my name is Pauline and I am 71 and in February of this year my husband was diagnosed with inoperable cancer of the bowl and also has an umbilical cancer that is called a Sister Mary Joseph since Feb. hw has been going through Chemo the first 3 month treatment did not work it had no affect on the bowl cancer and the umbilical grew half an inch, we then started another course of chemo and after 3 monthes he had a scan and it showed a small sign of shrinking so have now started another 3 months course. The umbilical one has been giving him some discomfort and Radiotheraphy has been spoken of but was wondering what the effect would be on him as the chemo makes him quite poorly at times.he has just had his 80th birthday but untill this started he was very fit really for his age.
