Feeling lost

Hi, I'm Sue. I have recently had surgery for colon cancer. Ive had very bad reaction to oral chemo, and have had to stop taking it, by the advice of the oncologist. Feeling lost. Waiting to be referred back to my surgeon, but I've lots of unanswered questions, and after four weeks I'm still suffering with side effects ,:( 

  • Welcome to our forum, Sue.

    I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad reaction to the oral chemo and that you have so many unanswered questions, I can imagine this must be a very difficult time for you.

    Hopefully, you will find some support here on Cancer Chat, as talking does seem to help a bit. Many of our members have been in a similar situation and I'm sure some of them will come along shortly to offer their advice and share their stories with you.

    Also, feel free to give our cancer nurses a call about this as well. Their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9 a.m - 5 p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Warm wishes,
