Hi Netty

How is your current fitness and blood numbers?

Have you considered clinical trials?

When my wife ran out of options we went to the Royal Marsden to see what they had, they were initially keen because at that point my wife was still pretty fit but unfortunately her blood numbers were not high enough - they're pretty strict about that.

They were pretty straight in tellin us that only about 10% of patients get any real benefit but when you're out of other options 10% starts to sound pretty good.

There's a list of current trials for bowel cancer here:

Maybe ask your consultant if he'll look into it for you if he thinks you might be suitable?
