I've recently received a diagnosis of stage 2 colon cancer. Surgeons removed 2 thirds of my colon and now I begin 6 months of Capecitabine Chemotherapy. Has anyone been through this, any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
Second time with bowel cancer, first time just surgery to remove right side and then 3 years later came back so removed more and as one of many removed lymph nodes was positive I was offered chemo which I thought I should have.
Had 4 months of Capecitabine and oxaliplatin. Hot/ tingly feet and hands with the Capecitabine and more side effects with Oxaliplatin.

Thank you for replying to me,I really appreciate it especially during these lonely times.I'm sorry you've had to battle this cancer twice but I'm so happy you've won.You give people like me hope.It's nice to know that normal life will resume.
