Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed with bowel cancer back in 2016 after an emergency operation. They removed the whole tumour and I had 6 months of chemo as a prevention. Unfortunately the cancer has come back in my bowel and I also now have a spot on my lung.
I have just finished 6 rounds of chemotherapy and had a scan which came back that the cancer is stable but it hasn't shrunk. My oncologist wants me to have a 3 month break from chemo as I've had some bad side effects but I'm worried about the cancer growing again.
Has anyone else had a break from chemo and what was the outcome?
thanks,
Suzanne
