It's hard living with cancer I'm stage 4 bowel cancer with two liver mets I'm on my 3rd line chemo I'm at present re challenging folfori, I have a scan next week I'm dreading it because I'm not sure where I go if it hasn't worked. 

I'm told I can add cetuximab which woukd help me but I have to self fund it and at £800 a go its expensive. 

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed I have no progression  

  • Hi HazG,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of this and I hope you are getting on OK, and that things go OK at the appointment this week.

    I can see you have posted elsewhere regarding the treatment and funding, so I will send a quick reply to that post also.

    In the meantime, I hope that the forum can be helpful for you.

    Wishing you all the best,
