bowel cancer

hi.i was diagnosed with bowel cancer in august 2014,advanced to liver ,i am now on my 8th lot of chemo and consultants are happy with my chemo,cancer count started at 790 and now i am down to 18,i have been warned in march when they do ct scan that my liver will not be repaired and have been told i will be looking at around 2years .when first told i was gutted and my partner broke down,telling my family and adult children was the hardest thing i have ever done ,but we have come to terms now and are very strong.we got marred 3 weeks ago ,we were getting married next year but with this we wanted in to be brought forward,the mcmillain nurses are great and i find when in chemo talking to others is a great weight off your mind,i hope that staying positive and hoping the next course of treatment after my chemo finishes extends my life abit more,they are looking into radiotherpy next or a stem injection which is done at guys hospital once amonth ,but have to have test first ,so i have introduced myself now and i wish u all well and i will reply to all and give advise if i can

  • GMorning Dave = nice too meet you and sorry to hear of whats going on in your life. Congrats to you and your wife on your wedding. 

    I must say I do admire your bravery and I think its wonderful how you hold yourself out to help others. In a funny sort of way the chemo is quite hard isn't it? It is so toxic = my wife had rectal eighteen months ago and had chemo last summer - she found it really nocked her for six!!

    In these tragic conditions it is hard to stay positive I well know = and its the way in what is a natural process if not a dreadful proces.

    I sincerely wish you and your wife the best and look forwards to hearing from you some time

    cheers steven
