  • Hi Kim.... and welcome to the Cancer Chat.

    Like Leelaloo, I just wanted to wish you and your husband all the best for today. 

    You can find out more about advanced colorectal cancer and what treatment options may be available to your husband on our website but if either of you would like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses after you've seen his consultant today, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable and will do all they can to answer your questions and support you at this very challenging time.

    Do let us know how you get on when you're feeling up to it. We'll be thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed that your husband can be offered treatment.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
