Colon cancer stage 2

Hi everyone,

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

  • Hi

    I was going through this 2 years ago.

    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.

    Soon got back to normal when it was finished.

    Good luck, it will soon pass x
