Hi all my mother has recently been diagnosed with Stage 3 bowel cancer (found in 1 lymph node out of 14). She had surgery with no stoma & is now facing 6 months of Adjuvent chemo FOLFOX. All going well so far- not many side effects (fingers crossed)... however 1 month before the bowel cancer diagnosis at routine mammogram something showed up on breast! Biopsy has just come back with very early stages of breast cancer not even sure what stage at the moment but most likely stage 1a/1b (not linked to the bowel cancer they think).. Just wondering if anyone has found themselves in similar postion. Surely if it was metastic it would have spread to a nearer organ (breast just seems too far up body) or have we just got unlucky? and if so did they stop your treatment & start you on something else? very early stages at the moment so hoping for positive news, hoping FOLFOX might even shrink/kill the breast cancer off (but thats a longshot i know!!)
Sorry for waffling on it has been the worst few months of our lives. So any help would be appriciaited here xx
