18 months ago, I had abdominal surgery to remove most of my colon & an omentectomy as a result of colorectal & peritoneal cancer.
I have secondary tumours in my liver & right lung and since January 22, I've been on palliative chemo consisting of Pamatumamab, Irinotecan and 5FU/Flourouracil every 2 weeks. So, to date that's 36 rounds of chemo.
Physically & physiologically, I'm fine and able to live as normal a life as my health allows. There are side effects, but you learn to notice the symptoms and manage your day accordingly. Once you've cracked that, palliative treatment is not a problem.
