Devastated to learn about my dads diagnosis

My dad was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer with mediastinal and lung mets. Surgery done and awaiting chemotherapy. I am absolutely devasted! Anyone with similiar staging to shed some light on nodal response to chemotherapy. Has anyone had nodes shrink and respond well to chemotherapy in the mediastinal area?  

  • Welcome to the forum Lilypad1.

    I'm sorry to hear about your dad's diagnosis although I'm glad to hear that his treatment is underway.

    Hopefully other members who have been in this situation will share their experiences with you soon but do have a go at using the 'search forum' above to connect with others already discussing this on the forum. Our cancer nurses may be good to talk to about this as well so do give them a call on their freephone number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope your dad's chemotherapy goes well and that it helps shrink the nodes. Do keep us updated when you can Lilypad, we'll be thinking of you.

    Best wishes to you both,
