  • Poor Mum - she has had a bad time this year with this cancer. Get her to tell the hospital doctors if it's hurting anywhere. They can reduce the chemotherapy dose if they think she is struggling with it. Tell her that we will be thinking of her and all of you this evening. Xx My wife had Adenocarcinoma but in her bowel. Adenocarcinoma simply means that the cancer is to do with a gland of some sort. She had all the treatments including chemotherapy. The chemotherapy was strong and she struggled with it. In the end they reduced the dose and she saw it through. She is okay now - so it's worth pushing on with x
